Default Raced a FAST Neon today...

I was leaving the golf course again when this little black Neon SRT-4 pulled up beside me and asked if I minded him getting in front of me at eh light so he could go straight. I let him in and noticed the boost guage on the dash. After we went through the light we got next to each other. I was at a good second and ket him hit it first. To my surprise it took me all of second gear to get back beside him and put about a half a car on him by the top of the gear.

He kinda smiled and we went a little further down the new part of Bay Area Blvd. where it straightens out. This time I was in third with the NOS armed, NO MERCY! I let him go first again and just about sucked some of his black paint off when I went by. He let off about half way through fourth. We turned into a parking lot and talked for a bit, he was cool and said I was the first Mustang to beat him..........he was a Rankin Rd. last weekend tearing everyone up supposedly. Judging from how he ran against me it prolly runs high 12's at maybe 110-112.

Pretty damn good for a freakin Neon.

Those new srt-4s are nice. I looked at one at the local dodge dealership today. After all the options it was priced at 20,990. Not too bad of a price for the performance you get IMO.(beats the price of a bullitt) Nice kill. I would've expected nothing less than a win though from you tit.

Phantom... I was thinking the same thing. Why is it that everybody always has to chime in "I'm drunk aren't I cool?" I don't get it. Whenever I'm drunk, I always make a fool out of myself around girls, not on internet forums :p

neons suck. If that had been me racing that guy, I would have put a couple of buslengths on his ***. But it was you so nice kill I guess. Later.
I'm sure you would have. Bullitt's are badass cars. They run 10's stock.

You're a dumbass bullitt. Chris's car probably runs 10's. He'd eat your punk *** for brunch.

The owner said he had some mods, like downpipe, boost controller, and is waiting on a T-D04 torbo and modded ECU. He said with those mods he should be around 350 to the wheels in his 2550lb car! I don't really like the styling either, but you HAVE to check out the fockin seats they put in them.....BADASS!

He also told me he ran one of his friends in a bolt on 6-speed LS-1 and got beat by about a car, how do ya like them apples.....

BTW, eyem rdunke writee no.....

Wow your parents wont let you out past 11 but they let you get drunk LMAO. Your parents have some screwed up priorities. Maybe it's better to be at home drunk than out and drunk though. In fact I think I'll have another.
