Nice kills man. I also have an Neon. Ran 13.4x @104.xx (hits high 12's with slicks)with exhaust and MBC. I hate neon owners that think they can beat everything.

You can mod a NEON to beat a z06. However, it is very easy to mod LS1/6 car to 10's and 11's. Bottom line is that who has bigger pocket wins.

First off I wanted a 10 second car I would have bought me a FoxBody for a few grand, dumped about 10 grand into it than bam. 10Second car. I dont want that though. I wanted a low 12 second Neon or S.R.T-4...whatever you guys wnat to call it. Money is a big part. I am only 18. Its not like I graduated college yet or anything. I am a cook right now. After im done with college than I can play around and have "toys" that run 9's. As of now...I like my low 13 second that I drive dialy...all year round. Soon to be low 12 second car.

Also, I would never even pull alongside a damn Z06 anyway. I know the outcome so why waste gas by revving or doing dumb ****?? If it pulled along side and wanted to race badly than I would and take the loss or *maybe* win when im done modding my car.

So you are saying an S.R.T-4 cant beat any fbody? Seriously, lets talk about "reality". It happens buddy. Dont think that there isnt a vid of a Neon beating an Fbody that means a Neon CANT beat one. I have beaten MANY fbodies and been beaten by many. So please, get your head out of your *** while you are still ahead.

That's the same guy that was talking about the "sleeper LS1." I wouldn't expect too much out of him.

It's not that hard to figure out...the NeonNeonNeon4s are in the 12s. The cars typically trap high for their ET (as do most higher powered FWD cars at the strip). Fbodies come stock in the 13s.

So not only are they outrunning the ET, they are surpassing the trap speed as well. It's really simple math. It doesn't mean that any NeonNeonNeon you see on the street will destroy you. It doesn't mean you will destroy any NeonNeonNeon on the street (well, some of you anyway...there's always the Units and the Cragers ).

I agree.He who has the deepest pockets wins..

Just got back from a vacation. I'm very glad to have missed the Neon festivities that I see locked down in the forum.
Good kills!

I am 7-0 vs NeonNeonNeon4. Include track and street encounter. Is LS1 faster in Maryland or NeonNeonNeon4 is slower in Maryland? NeonNeonNeon4

Neon (S.R.T. 4) owners think their little ecno box, wrong wheel drive cars, are the ****. Funniest thing ever...

You need a video to show you that a 12 second car can beat a 13 second car?

I hate stupid people too.
