Street Racing & Kill Stories - ls1 t/a beat by a saturn ion

ok so it's me and my budies are driving back from the beach when this ion full of chicks pulls up next to us. The light turns green and i go at a normal rate, my car is pretty loud so maibe the chicks thought we where laing down the smack down so they take off. I thought what the hell bunch of chicks let me entertain them. Well to my surprice or lack there off i get horrible wheel spin and they beat me by like a whole city block. AT this point my budies decide to get their heads down so the ricers in the 240 sx behind us wouldn't see them riding with me. AT this point i pretty much realice what a dumn ass i was, for racing a front wheel drive car in the rain with super el cheapo tires on, a few days after i bought the car, and yes i did kick my self in the ass latter. IT sure was a humbling expirience :cry:

:lol: hahaha... :owned:

Here is an electronic kick-in-the ass from me as well...

you---> :buttkick:<---me

o come on man it was raining an i had el super cheapo tires one, they where so cheap the name was in spanish

I don't care if there's snow on the fucking ground. Learn to drive that thing. You've just opened up a enormous can or worms. Every Ion owner is now going to think they can beat an LS1. :bang:

ok ok that happened like three days fter i bought the car i won't let you guys down again but like i said i do have el super cheapo supremo tires on the car so le'ts cut me a littel slack plz :cry:

:guns: :guns: :guns:

damn i get beat by a srt 4 and then u with a ion. What is the world coming too?

oh nevermind i wasnt in a ls1

Dude, a Saturn? Please tell me you were tanking to get some pink or something. I know you had bald tires, too bad you didn't hook up with some bald ION.... :devil:

Two words. "ION Redline", given time I forsee more of these losses in the future. :D :P

:rotflmao: LOL at this thread. Seriously though why would you race in the rain?

Whoa...first off, get some better tires, man! Next thing...get out and drive that car! Don't let that happen again. I agree with unit but I'll cut you some slack cause its friday and a 3 day weekend! lol

Did you launch in reverse by mistake? I don't care if you had the whole brady bunch in with you and you were on bare rims...an ls1 should eat an ion.

dude it was raining they mighty saturns are front wheel drive and they got all that power and wight on teh front tires. lol mighty saturn

Wow. :eek2:

Just tell everybody it was a 1 off in-line 3 cylinder firebird with no muffler, and you just put the LS1 in this morning.

Less excuses, more practice driving.;)

Two words. "ION Redline", given time I forsee more of these losses in the future. :D :PI saw one of thoes at the track Tuesday. He was running 15.3s, MPH was in the low 90s. :zzz:

lol ok this sure has become a popular thread. don't worry iam now ready to take on any deadly fast ions i might run up against out there, hopefully soon enough i'll be able to work my way up to a gt :eyes:

Whoa...first off, get some better tires, man! Next thing...get out and drive that car! Don't let that happen again. I agree with unit but I'll cut you some slack cause its friday and a 3 day weekend! lol
Or get out and push it. If you're down a steep enough hill you should still be able to beat the Ion.

What's up with the Saturns now... I had a Vue or whatever, the Saturn SUV, mess with me on the way to work yesterday... All I could do was laugh... didn't even waste gas on him.

Well I just raced my GF in her Ion yesterday. I totally kicked the crap out of her.:emb: By the time I hit 100 I couldn't see her anymore. So there's at least one girl driving an Ion that knows that she can't beat an F-bod.:) :jest:

LOL Don't let the SRT-4 guys read this post.

:jest: :chug:

Im not sure if i would have posted that....... or done that to begin with...

Now every ion i pass with chicks in it slows to see what im drivin.... but they quickly go on their way cause they know ions can only take LS1's not SRT-4's :devil:

Too bad at the end of the day you are still driving a glorified Neon.

It doesn't matter how much frosting you put on a turd... it is still a turd once you bite into it. Congratulations.

well besides the hate expressed and how you should give me your ls1.....

Hey hey hey now........ we didnt have to get all personal by callin it a neon.....:wave-fing

But seirously, i really like the newer Z28's... I think the LS1 is an awsome engine..
I owned a 97 Z28 :barf: LT1..... so i am a fan of the car..

But to be sporting, im still gonna have to point out that a lightly modded 4 cyl, still has tha ability to take the almighty V8.. :drive:

An yeah it has the neon chassis, but the F-body is any better? :judge:

I would rather have a 97 Z than a rental car with a turbo. ;)

Oh Teh shame of it all.

You should see what you can do to RWD cars with a 600whp AWD dsm in the rain... God that was fun....


My best line after just leaving a cobra on a wet road......

"I thought those things with sticks were fast... Let me guess you accidentally killed the engine with the clutch.."

I did'nt event go to full launch RPM just 2.5k or so and rolled on the throttle hard after a gentle clutch slip..

They are fun but eat performance clutches due to small disk diameter, traction and power level. Alot of high hp people kill atleast 2 transmisions.

.... But to be sporting, im still gonna have to point out that a lightly modded 4 cyl, still has tha ability to take the almighty V8.. :drive:


Sporting? Come race MY "almighty v8" with EVERYTHING you could POSSIBLY fit onto that tiny little engine of yours .... every bolt-on/turbo/whatever .... then you can tell me what your car has or does NOT have the ability to do.

I honestly think the SRT-4 is a pretty cool car, and a good concept ... family type sedan that can rip it up pretty well ... HOWEVER, they are absolutely NO match for any sort of sports car, regardless of what you think. A high 11 second car is NOT a fast car .... fast for a neon, yes, fast "sports" car, no. And the drivers of those things who for some reason have it stuck in their head that they are driving 9 second beasts, makes me Seek out and Rip apart every single one I have found so far (even though I rarely street race).

I have found that all SRT-4 drivers have a pattern they go through after they lose ...
1) Denial ... "omg, I can't believe that just happened"
2) Excuses ... "shit man, my flux capacitor isn't working, I missed a shift, and my right rear tail-light is out"
3) Explination... "I honestly don't know what happened, I walk those things all the time"
4) Questions ... "so what the hell do you have in that thing?"
5) Oblivious Praise .... "well that's a nice camaro you have."
6) More excuses ... "well if my front passenger side tire wasn't low on air, I would've definately made up the 5 buslength lead you had and won...."
7) Finger .... generally comes after a bunch of shit-talking by me, but ends up happening 80% of the time.

Well, I guess that's what happens when you have some odd idea placed in your head that a little 4 cyl can "take down the almighty 8 cyl."

Btw, my car is N/A ... no turbo needed ... just raw power ... Thanks for participating in our little conversation and enjoy your trip to the supermarket.

DSMs are totally different from SRT-4s, DSMs can but up the awesome numbers and are into the 8s. SRT-4 owners tend to think of their cars as the next DSMs, which they absolutely are not. They talk shit by the ton, not even realizing that the fastest SRT-4 in the world is only running a low 12- which is pathetic in my book since that's bolt-ons away to an LS1.

Yes, it's true Satrun IONS and Dodge Neons can trounce an LS1 powered F-Body.

So, if there are any in my area wanting to race for money get ahold of me. I'm willing to give you all of my cash :)

It's bolt ons on a 2g AWD DSM... I know I guy who just bolted on a used turbo from a 1g dsm (bigger), 3" mild steel home brew exhaust, manual boost controller, K&N, junk yard injector upgrades (rx7 low impedance), ans a hacked MAF and ran high 11's... on the stock sidemount intercooler!!!!

Uh, nobody asked. I was talking about SRT-4s.

Alright...... I wasnt tryin to freak you guys out by sayin that a car with half the cylinders, twice the doors, 10 times as much cargo space, and a more drag then a SUV, could... give or take certain conditions... beat a Z28.....
An for you LT1 guys... I have never lost to one...... ;)

What makes your Z28's anymore "sports" car then the SRT-4? Nothing. There is gonna be a street SRT-4 in the 10's on stock internals within the year.
An to reach low 11's in this car isnt that bad. It's actually great. I guarantee that car could drive around and hand tons of cars their asses.. including most any Z28 or SS that they'd meet on the street.
AS for getting in to the 11's..... His mods were actually pretty minimal.
11.9 exhaust, 17psi, k&n filter agp fmic, nx 75shot

Another guy "dave" got 11.416@126.233 mph with a new turbo.
I'm gonna race my Next door neighbors Newer LS1 with from what he says "A full intake and exhaust kit" and i'll tape it and put it on here..... I just need to find the camera...... ;)

Congratulations on naming two SRT-4s in the 10s and 11s. Do you have any idea how many f-bodies can claim that?

And as for "nothing" making our cars more sporty than a Neon... are you on crack? The WS6 looks like it wants to eat everything in its path. The Neon just wants to make friends.

make friends.. lol...

true the WS6 looks mean.. but i've seen plenty of mean looking ricey civics.... so that doesnt make a bit of difference...
How about the fact that the SRT-4 is a limited production vehicle.. or that it's actually designed by SRT/PVO... SRT 10 - SRT 10 - SRT8(soon) - SRT6 - and SRT4... Thats the Sports car line up for Chrysler....
But GM on the other hand, :(....... The corvette, Saturn ION Redline...... umm yeah....LoL... wel atleast we know the ion is fast ;)

They are all capable of it..... I just only named 2...
You see the mods that the first one had..... thats like 2 grand in mods or something like that.... thats not that hard to replicate..... :drive:

There is gonna be a street SRT-4 in the 10's on stock internals within the year.

That's a bullshit rice statement. Nobody cares what the SRT-4 "could do within a year".

The current fastest LS1 is a 388 cube 17psi blown LS1/C5-R convertible weighing in at 3900 lbs running mid-8s. Any idea what a 436 cube 20+psi C5-R weighing around 3000 lbs could do? I guess we'll find out 'within a year'... :eyes:

Bullshit, there are tons of LS1s on the road that run 10s. All an LS1 needs to get into 11s is nitrous. That's $500. And the car will still get 20 mpg and be totally docile on the road.

What is it with all of these SRT-4 drivers thinking their cars can even touch the DSM or LS1? 11s don't even come close to the marks set by them.

true the WS6 looks mean.. but i've seen plenty of mean looking ricey civics....

:rotflmao: This is definitely the typical retarded ass shit that would come out somebody who would have the balls (or lack there-of) to modify a Neon. The words "mean" and "civic" don't belong in the same sentence. Hell, my 45 year old mother laughs every time she sees a riced out Civic. And she drives a fucking minivan. :lol:



It all comes down to superiority. Nobody gives a shit what your car is running, when it comes down to it, the whole point is which platform is faster. In this case, the LS1 is faster than both the DSM and the SRT-4. The DSM and LT1 also totally blow away the SRT-4. SRT-4s will never hit the times that DSMs, LS1/LT1s can because they ARE NOT SUITED TO BE DRAG CARS. You simply cannot drag efficiently with FWD. Just look at all of the FWD Honda drag cars- with their weight and the power they put out they'd be in 8s if they were RWD. But they aren't, so they run 10s.

Show me an SRT-4 platform that runs 8s, and I'll be impressed. Until then, they'll always be slow to me and many other DSM, F-Body, and Mustang drivers.

ok you pull up with your neon and i'll pull up with my WS6 and we'll see what the ladies perfer and anybody with any common sense perfers

If you had any trace of critical thinking skills, you would have got the joke.

I'll break it down for you...
What gender usually drives regular neons?... hmmm Females.... The regular neon is marketed towards females..... An who the hell mentioned a corvette anyways :huh:

It was a joke corky.......

an for the Cobra guy..... Nice picture.. love those cars.. but whats your point? I never said anything about Cobras........

it should have read like this:
Z28 owners get used to this http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/attac...tachmentid=9412 ;)

and LMFAO... your such a tool for going in an erasing my post that basically internet slapped you and gave you your 8 second neon ;)

Mike Crawford and the Darrell Cox Racing (formerly known as Phatridz) Neon became the World's Fastest Neon with a 10.18@135 pass at Raceway Park. At the Nitto Nationals, the car again stunned the crowds and fellow racers with an incredible 9.78@142 pass that also make it the first and only Neon to break the nine second barrier. When we spoke to crew chief Darryl Cox and the crew a month ago, they made it clear their mission was to get the 2.4L Neon into the 9-second club. They accomplished their mission in with some experimentation in boost and nitrous settings over the past few events they've attended. The success of the Darrell Cox Racing team is sure to open the doors to more Neon campaigns in the future.

2003 srt-4 set NHRA front-wheel-drive records for ET and speed in May 2003 at Gainesville: 8.22 sec. @ 181.70 mph, the same event in which he captured his first NHRA victory.

neons are meant for poor FAMILIES who need a practical car that gets 30mpg. Dodge just slapped in a cute little turbo cause thats the "thing" now a days to raise sales. Making money of the ignorance of generation y :nono:

and the camaro was meant for white guys who live in trailers with mullets and have pictures of Corvettes on their walls cause thats about as close as they'll ever get to one....


everyone knows the camaro is the poor mans vetter....... ;)

moltenice - You obviously are blind to the fact that you drive a Neon. Grab the keys, walk out of your trailer and take a look at it. It's a fucking Neon! It's not a muscle car and it never will be. It's a pathetic attempt made to steal a share of Honda's sales figures. You've bought yourself a ricemobile junior. Congrats.

You're boring me with your mindless drivvle.
