On the way back from the store today I caught sight of an srt4 neon and decided to slow up and be the instigator for once. Typical younger lookin guy and he doesnt seem to interested to go from a punch. Normally Id just let it be but with 4 lanes of open road I dropped into 2nd at about 55 and gave him a couple jumps. Next thing I know he downshifts and gets a slight jump on me and we're off. He gets an immediate car on me and it takes me all of 3rd to pull even. After the shift to 4th he decides to let off (I was beginning to slightly walk him at this point). We pull over at the next gas station and this guy doesnt stop to talk just rolls down his window and tells me I got owned by his stage 2. WTF? I was about to give this guy some props for his car surprising me and he says this ****. My car is bone stock by the way and has trapped 108 in good air. Anyone have an idea of what a stage 2 srt4 neon runs or what that entails? Im guessing a little bit more boost and maybe an intercooler? It looked like it was quite large for a stock one. Who knows what his mods actually were but he has to be in the 107-109 trap speed range given the outcome. I can see it now on the srt forums. "Another LS1 taken down by my stage 2!"

 

The srt4 can be a pretty quick car. Too bad they guy was a dick.

 

I think stage 2s are usually running low 13s @ 105-108 mph on pump gas but Im not 100% sure on that.

 

I just beat a stage 2 SRT-4 the other night. It was a close race. I only beat him by a car.
I am bone stock too.

I HATE THOSE FING CARS!!!!!!!!

It just sucks and its sad that an american rice POS economy BOX can hang with the mighty LS1

 

Stage 2s run anywhere from high 12s to low 13s. A full stage 2 car in my area ran a 12.8 at 111. From a roll i would have given him a slight edge on you. Nice run anyway.

 

 

LOL

 

 

Grow up.

 

Typical SMART *** response from u, UNIT

Is it not ok to say that i dont like a particular type of vehicle, u sure do

 

 

Thats what happens if you underestimate other cars
2 kwik to judge other people/cars

 

I just heard that a Stage 2 handed me my *** the other day. I dont think they believed me when I said I didnt know we where racing. I just take off fast because it's fun. Fricken ricers! No offence Necro. LOL

 

You post your opinion like a 16yo kid.

 

Sounds to me like a good run. Sure the kid was a little cocky but you gotta give him some slack. He did it in a neon. If my tall butt could fit in one, id sport one as the perfect daily driver.
I do have i question however, Why are you so fricken stock! Your just asking for skittles to walk all over you.

 

Its cool, noway a stage 2 Neon could hang with your SS. Believe me I know.

 

That guy had a bad attitude, just get some bolt-ons and show him what you can do.

 

I half expected the attitude. To answer the question of why Im still stock..Im not sure. I dont have a whole lot of cash since I chose the teaching profession, but thats no real excuse. A lid will be on very shortly. Im still trying to figure out if I can get by with no cats and true duals at inspection time here in Austin.
