Default SRT4 killed - buslengths

Spotted the skittle as I merged on to the freeway (morning commute).
Made my way to the left lane behind him and pulled next to him in the center lane, goosing it a few times to let him know I'm game.
Dude slows down to about 40mph, I do also, so does this white, fart canned Integra.
I look over to the skittle and give the guy the go sign. He won't go (and I hate 3 horn honks- I refuse to be the honker- if your car can't catch up when someone gets the jump, then your car ain't fast enough).
Since the dude wouldn't take the jump I offered, and we just sat there at 40mph, I just dropped to 2nd and took off. He pursued.
I've had quick cars pursue and hold even- I call those races a draw, but this SRT-4 just faded to a 2 buslength distance by 4th gear, so I shut down, slowed down and he caught up and threw a huge thumbs up.
I offered to go again, but offer not taken.

The end.

Ha ha ha. I drove a neon neon neon-4 and it was fun. I don't see how with out spending a truckload of money you can get one to out run a lightly modded ls1.

Good *** raping of the "it's not a NEON"! At least he wasn't a dick about it.

Gray, I can't figure out why they let you stay. He'll, we don't even like you over here! Don't let me find out you've been polishing NEON cranks.

I know a good race for you with a neon when your ready. He is in our area. I don't know if you know Pablo from Lujan Motorsports. His skittle runs pretty hard. Best at he track is an 12.2@118-119mph.

Our traps are similar. My ET's are 11.8 in this summer's air.
Would make an interesting race.
PM me.

I think I am still allowed to post there, but it really isn't fun anymore.

I am a member of the war on cocky neon owners, so don't ever think I own one

Nice kill on the "skittle". Did he sneeze on you before to let you know he's game? I love it when they do that to try to initimidate...and then get owned.

those neons are pathetic, this guy in a neon with upgraded turbo pulled up next to me, and i blew him away, like it wasnt even a race, i felt as if i was racing and integra, and all i got is a lid on a 99 SS. its sad, but until it's AWD, those neons arent goin anywhere
