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.

If you're scared to race the kid go to the track when he goes on a grudge night or something at least and just get a ballpark of what he runs. IF you're scared...

Go from a dig, don't race a turbo car from a roll.

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!

The bottom line is it's still a NEON. I could make a go-cart fast but it's still a go-cart.

Umm...who told you that? The blocks are exactly the same. The main difference between the Srt-4 and turbo PT cruiser are the intake manifold and turbocharger plumbing. The block is not an upgrade.

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's a relative statement. A guy I know has a C6. He knows I would absolutely trash him. His feelings on that...."I don't care how fast you make that car, it's still a cheap *** Camaro. I drive a Vette!"
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!
