Race Rally Research really had redefined the limit. The WPW1691 really a outstanding fast MME Waja! thanks guy,

But R3 masterpieces should get more appreciation by Malaysian, as it was being valued really low by the insurance adjuster.

Oz version Turbocharged Neo R3 will be coming out Early next year, any news or rival from malaysian?

But this spec of car is more interesting to watch at tight or small circuit , something that is very common outside, e.g in the UK.

Because of it’s low-powered but good handling, the car doesn’t really look fast at Sepang, much better at Pasir Gudang or old Shah Alam circuit I think. Shame.

…..”really really good….”
Is he really 13?

Cool Neo. I think beside of the driver and engine, the well know good handling by lotus earlier made tuning suspension more easier. Thai Neo buyer should be proud of this too.

I think, Neo GTI project will start when their MPV start production. Might be 1.8 Campro CPS. 250 – 300hp + Supercharged!

Save the best (Neo GTI) for the last !
But please.. don’t be tooooo late.

i still can’t fathom why the satria neo sells so badly in malaysia, its the best looking proton of all

===========================================

wow dis is da 1st time ever i “heard” u said smthing good abt proton. hehehehe~~ did u accidently hit ur head or smthing?

Not really missing. Just knowing that Neo kicks Vios a$$ is a great pleasure. I would think that this is the R3 Neo that they’re racing in bare-bones kit. But having no response from the other camp is the icing on the cake. But honestly even in stock form comparison a Vios can’t carve a curve handsomely like a heavy Waja. And that’s what circuit racing is about. Look at the camber angle on that Neo. You know its setup for the curves.

Not too long ago, in a Discovery Real Time show, a UK tuner said that its easy peasy to make a fast car reliable, but its really hard work trying to get a reliable car go fast.

IMHO, Neo is the best looking car by P1. If only the make a sedan version of it.. instead of Persona.

Throughout my experience commenting at this blogsite, I have never seen the lack of bashers in an article about proton.
—————————————————————-

hmmm, missing the bashing of Proton?

Satria NEO CPS 1.6 will roll out after the Persona SE.

Sauce? What’s taking them so long anyway, even the IAFM isnt released on the Neo if im not wrong…..

i suspect proton are only concentrating on the volume sellers right now, like persona and saga, and the upcoming new mpv of course.

the neo is a niche model, and doesnt sell as much. as their resources are limited, seems like they only choose to concentrate on what will gurantee more sales at this time which is the prudent and smart thing to do i think.

Maybe all of them hitched a ride on a Hilux to PP.

I still have the booking fee receipt on a manual Neo that I ask the sales guy to postpone until this Satria CPS came out. Don’t really care about the IAFM. Just the CPS will do thank you. Maybe its the Satria Neo CPS MME Edition? Yeah that would beat the Renaultsport R127 Clio in terms of long model names.

Satria NEO CPS 1.6 will roll out after the Persona SE.

driving this neo will be a sure fun

LOL @ abtm’s comment…
did you know one of the best handling hatch – Ford Focus uses torsion beam?

LOL YOURSELF,
Get ur facts right

The car – which was a Waja 1.6 (standard engine, only fully balanced) – made it easy for me to overtake smaller Satrias (the field was mostly Satrias).

Yo really have to see how the Proton race boys work in the pits. They are seriously focused on preparing a great car for the racers.

As for Faidzil Alang, if you don’t already know, he is such a precise driver. He has tested many, many cars to death, so he understand a car’s dynamics like a superhuman. Syafiq Ali meanwhile, drives the Satria Neo R3 like a man possessed. He’s a true blue karter, so watch out if you have to race beside him. He will eat you alive!

RESPECT to the Proton boys

anyways..its good to see proton continue to feature in racing. protons have raced all over the world pretty successfully. a super 1600 rally satria (previous model) won the british rally championship in its class some years back, as well as wins in rally racing in the middle east with wira, and also gen.2. and of course, there is now the super2000 neo.

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I thought Focus uses a much more sophisticated Control Blade rear suspension.rather the conventional torsion like on Vios……..

Is it using proton engine or it already has been transplanted by another make?
