Default Death by Plymouth Neon

Yes, you read the title right. I got my *** handed to me by a Plymouth Neon. Not a Dodge....a Plymouth. I pulled up next to him at the light, in all his white car with white hubcap glory. I roll down the window with my button, he rolls his down with the manual crank. I yell out "Dude, what's that thing got?" and get the reply: "2.0 liters of dodge fury, that will destroy your punkass!".....

We agree on a 10 roll, my A/C and Stereo are both off, and he's honking. one, two, three, we go. I stay with him up until about 25 or 30, but he immediately begins to pull on me. One car. Two cars. The gap just gets wider and wider. We catch another redlight. I yell at him, "Man, you caught me out of my power range, let's go from a dig, i'll honk." No traffic around, light turns green, i begin to honk. Staged at 1800 RPM, one....two.......three. I put a nose on him. He reels me in and puts a nose on me....then one car....then two cars....and continues to pull.

I really don't know what to say for myself. I feel like a disgrace to the entire car world that I didn't beat a ******* Plymouth Neon in my big, badass,

Ya the hubcaps are lighter and less rotating weight so if you multiply that it should be about 14hp, lol.

So when I pull up in the mazda and start talking **** about how I have the keys to the neon killer in my hands, then get my *** handed to me, I feel like a jackass haha. Time for a custom fabbed autozone/lowes fenderwell CAI
