We were going to film some runs with him spraying me (he would have murdered me) but I had a coolant hose bust a nut all over my engine bay.

We'll get together and do it again on film.

Man ur car is incredible. Its so hard seeing that little neon with these skinny *** tires just about staying next to an H/C Z06. Your car ******* dips. Its wierd cuz i couldnt even hear the vette'. Nice run/vid. Thats staying on my desktop.

Yeah, believe it or not but I'm rolling on small-*** 6 inch wide rims with 205 series tires. I have slicks for the track but it's still a chore hooking up. FWD sucks. I wish theyd put this motor in a 2 seater RWD Mid engine car like the Razor concept.

I agree, fwd is just hard to get use to. At least for me, everything I own is either rwd or 4wd, lol.

I can't wait until you guys get togethe again. Both are nice cars for sure. That srt-4 you have is really quick. You have to put some larger rims on it so you can have better launches, hell, it maybe even faster than the 12.0 seconds that you have so far. OH, that's a sweet video.

That is a pretty damned quick SRT4.

The torque steer must be out of this world.

Strong Neon. Weak Z06. I'd like to have a crack at this particular Neon.

Fantastic video and thats a fast little car you have but at the end of the day its still a neon, lol. Sorry, I just don't subscribe to the whole post-"fast-and-the-furious"-little-4cyl-eco-car w/boost-that-supposed-to-be-the-underdog-but-instead-its-fast-and-furious-so-look-out, revolution. I just think that Z06 is so sweet in comparison. I don't know, when I watch these little turbo cars it's more like a funny thing than a bad-*** thing. Kinda like watching a really fast RC-car.

A little saying I like to use: Its cool and neat but not badass or sweet.

maybe its just me... Anyhow, good races... Sorry had to throw in my 2C even if it's unpopular.

a racer is a racer, if he takes the time to do research to make a 4 banger run with the v8s, let alone a high performance car with motor work, that's impressive reguardlesss. Like I said, to be able to do the research to make that 4 banger fast. You don't like the new lotus elise? Hey, I am with you as far as making the v8 power fast, I'd rather have a vette, even if it turned out to be slower but these guys take racing serious too.

If it goes fast, looks good and sounds better then i'm down. Of course i would take the Z06 any day of the week though.
