Kenny needs to get some solid motor mounts and/or lca bushings if he's wheel hoping like that from a 40 roll.

No, still has the stock motor in it. Aiming to be the first SRT-4 in the 10's on the stock motor.

It is transmission-less right now. Waiting on the darn stall to come in. We have everything else including the axles. That and I still need the new intake manifold fabbed up.

I believe so. I think 2005 or 2006 is the last year...... Not positive though.

The only difference is that Camaro owners will tell you their Z28 is a Camaro. SRT-4 owners (some or most) deny that it's a friggin' Neon.

They do pretty damned well though.

Thanks.....

I like calling the car a "Neon"......... In fact, many times I prefer people thinking it's just a Neon and calling the car a "Neon"...........It's part of the fun.......

For example.......last week this guy in a mid-90s Corvette convertible (with the top down, sunglasses on, and girlfriend/wife in the car) reved at me at a light. He nodded his head, trying to look cool. I just smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Anyways, long story short, I destroyed him.

At the next light, he said, "That's a f*cking NEON ?!?!?"

Me, "Yep"......

Corvette man, "Does that come stock with a turbo?"

Me, "yep"

Corvette man gets obviously fustrated and trying to save face because he just got pounded by a Neon says, "Bullsh!t..... No Neons come with a turbo.".... I just laugh....

Light turns green, and he hammers it, breaking the tires loose..... Now I figure it's my turn to be the azzhole. I immediately follow suit, but pull behind him and pull into the empty lane to his right WOT. As I pull next to his passenger side (where his girl is at) I let off the gas to give him a little BOV, and his girl looks over. I wink at her and continue WOT walking away from the vette, laughing my azz off. Vette man slams on his breaks, flips me off, and makes a U-turn.

Neon...........21K (including tax/license)
Mods............2K

Winking at a Corvette man's girl while walking by him in a Neon......priceless

Wow....

All I said was "thanks" and told a short story poking fun at the it's just a "Neon".....

I agree though, it's about as worn out as the "Neon" thing.... But wait, you brought that back up....

As a matter of fact I didn't. burnout04 brought it up and omacolos expounded upon it.

Let me know when Mastercard starts using Neon's in their commercials.

You expounded upon it as well. Besides, it doesn't make it any less worn out than "priceless".....
