150 brand new cars wit 0 miles on the clocks, but there's a catch.
We're guessing that each of these Neons could use some fuel and brake system work in order to be even quasi viable.

$1350 is still too much for a Neon.

You might as well make it fun. Put C4 in some, a few pounds of dynomite in others, maybe a minigun involved...

I'd bet money that their head gaskets, already prone to failure, are toast.

This. Or Rallycross. Neons make good autocross cars, I don't know what parts availability (or aftermarket for that matter) is like for them these days.

They're probably all automatic. :chuckle:

Neutral drop + 165mm tires = lots of smoke and fun.

True, but 5 minutes + 150 cars = 12.5 hours of fun!
