I have three friends with Neons, they're nice for sure, I'm just more of a Chevy guy. In a straight line they're definitely faster than a SC/SS but they handle poorly and the build quality is awful, my friend just blew up his turbo @26,000 miles
And the caliber has more horsepower than a neon but they're normally slower in the 1/4th because they're so much heavier, not to mention still much more expensive given how recently they were produced
Edit: Also, calibers don't put down 300+ to the wheels, they have 285 crank horsepower

Can't forget all the goodies that the LNF Cobalt comes with, launch control etc

Here's some info I found on the Caliber.
And that's only the SRT4. The others make less than 200 hp.
And in my personal experience, Chrysler's fit and finish has been very cheap and poorly designed for decades.
It features a 2.4*L DOHC 16V turbocharged I4 with dual variable valve timing (DVVT). It produces 285*hp (213*kW) at 6,400*rpm, and 265*lb·ft (359*N·m) of torque at 5,600*rpm using the Mitsubishi TD04HL4S-20 turbo. Edmunds had tested one on a chassis dynamometer and obtained 281*hp (210*kW) and 261*lb·ft (354*N·m) of torque at the wheels.

This MasterDebating can go on 4-ever ~> 4-Sure, but I think what is most important is that Member: OneSlowMonte
is happy with his purchase
I think his User Name should be Changed to "OneFast S.S."
I know that I'd rather have the S.S. over the Neon SRT, but everyone is still `free to choose what they like/want & purchase (if they have the $'s)...
Peace `Out from `Space
p.s. Wish OneFast S.S. safe/happy/fast trouble`free miles.

The colbalt looks like a nice little car. The SS is the way to go for sure. I do not like the spoiler on them tho I would take it off if i owned one. Same thing with the neon. I just dont like the big wing look i guess
