ive seen some fast skittles out there man, i would be very weary. my buddy has a kid in his car club that has a "stage 2.5" skittle and that thing moves out. i only got him by a 1/2-3/4 of a car from a dig. those things can be nasty, the kid upped the boost now and wants to run it again next time im in town, from what i hear he is running borderline 11s now.

I pulled up against a modded SRT4 neon, he had 8" wide slicks and a bunch of mods... mine is a 6.0 with a small shot, ya I was nervous, Ive seen those little cars move out.... I guess the vid tells the whole story.

The people that build up the skittles actually use a pt cruiser shortblock, I was told its basically an upgrade....Coming from my friend that works with a team that has a 9 second neon he knows what hes talking about. He has a srt hes building now that will give ALOT of cars a good run, should be in the 11's easy....I would say most are slow but some you got to watch out for

It could happen, just come to Texas! I've beat a 402 D1 Vette from a 60 roll. Plenty 408's, couple of 427's(stock). Best of all I trap 135 and still have A/C and full interior! Oh and this T67(small turbo) Supra!

Still see there are plenty of the "it's still a Neon" people out there.
OP, not sure if it matters anymore but stage 2's can run a variety of times. Depending on his other mods, tire/wheel selection, and if the car is tuned beyond the Mopar Stage 2 tune. They tend to run rich so an additional tune is usually required to get the optimum performance out of it.

That being said, as others previously stated, underestimate those Skittles at your own peril.....especially on highway runs. There's a pretty lethal one in my town. Judging by your sig, if you're a man of your word, you're SS would be up for sale if you tangled with him!
