It's still a Neon... and you could still lose. We're talking about drag racing here and heated leather seats, sat nav, blue tooth phone, etc. don't matter in a drag race. Yes, it may still be a Neon but that doesn't really matter when the point is to get down a 1/4 mile. Now for picking up women or enjoying a comfortable trip on the Autobahn at high speeds, then the fact that it is just a Neon may make a difference in comparison to a Benz. If you bought this car for drag racing, you bought the wrong car.

Disclaimer: The referenced kid in the first post sounds like an idiot, so I'm not suggesting that his car is faster than a CLK55. I'm only stating that assuming the car is slow based solely on the fact that it is a Neon or any other compact/import car is foolish.
