Default killed an NeonNeonNeon4

finally had an opportunity to run one of these things.
ok, bit of setup. 2 lanes each way, sittin at a redlight by myself at about 11pm on my way to work. traffic's coming up behind me and i see a car moving fast to get to the empty lane beside me before the light turns. i see its an neon before he pulls up and i hear the turbo winding down when he stops.
light goes green and his passenger yells something that sounds like "GO". so..i went . we both hit it about the same time rolling through the intersection, pulled about half a car spinning through first and then when i hit second i put another couple cars on him but he gave up REAL fast. i was like wtf? i let out before i hit 80 and he was a few cars back, almost like he didnt really try. didnt get a chance to talk to him before we got buzzed by a pack of ricers but im guessing he was completely stock. fun run either way, better than some of the lame crap that's been challenging me lately.

Good kill!!! He probably wasn't stock if you could hear the turbo. Aftermarket intakes make the turbo very loud.

Nice, seems like he may have been an alright guy. Too bad you didn't get a chance to talk with him afterwards, though.

Good kill. With your 13.10@106 you would put a few car lengths on a Stock S.R.T4 Out of the box it takes a good driver to pull 13.6-13.8 on one.

On a stock S.R.T4 you can hear the Turbo spool up but its really loud with a Intake.

Oh no, Im not here to start ****, I got banned 4 that yesterday. I actually came back on here to apologize for my actions yesterday, then I read that. Well, still I will act grown, because I am and I have respect for all cars that are fast.

I got carried away yesterday with my post/thread. (Why start a thread?) I dont know what came over me yesterday, bad mood maybe. But all in all I am just here to learn some tricks for when I get my 5.0 this weekend.

Nothing wrong with that. Glad to have you back if that's the case.

Yes, I came over here yesterday from reading stuff on NeonNeonNeon forums about the battle back and forth, got steamed, didnt handle it proper, I came on yesterday as 5.0_NeonNeonNeon4 and made a thread. Felt like an 11 year old shortly after I posted it. I commend whoever came to the NeonNeonNeon forums War Stories and tried to act civil, it just wont happen there. Not in that particular part of the forums.
Im just an enthusiast like most of you, we all know there are people that just like to run there mouth, I would like to not be in that quartet of folks. So Im here because its another forum for great information along with great people. Well Im sure most of u are!!

Oh yes, been wanting to come to the darkside for awhile. Ill still have my turbo dodge for stunning people, I have always wanted a 5.0 since the first time I watched Menace to Society. Now for different reasons than then. She'll be alot of work, but for 600$ I cant pass it up. Then I can have the pride in saying that I built her!!
