The color was an off blue and it definetly wasn't stock. I was beating stock MX-3s in high school with my 1st Gen Neon. If this was an ordinary MX-3 do you think I would waste time and post about it. I'm running a S1, AGP WGA, NeedSwing In Cabin MBC, and a K&N CAI. I spike at 19 and hold 15. The guy had a great sleeper because the only visual difference was a polished muffler tip.
