Damn that sucks. Sounds like he has one quick neon tho. If done right, they can be pretty quick. I lost to a heavily modded one on the highway about 2 weeks ago, I hate losing to neons!

Nice run.. Looks like u put him in his place tho SRT-4s are not hard to make fast and it doesnt cost that much.... to get that 469 hp it might take like 7 grand.... Another 4 or 5 in the suspenison and it will probaly run 11's all day maybe high 10s... I had lots of plans for mine but i hated the fwd... hopefully ur friend isnt running on stock internals... If he is he is only a few races from throwing a piston... Crank is rated to hold like 500+ HP i think someone said could hold 800 hp.. but the other stuff only holds 400... But ya im surprised he ran ya from a stop... that shows he has some suspension work... and with probaly over 500 lbs tq.... He probaly jumped the 5 cars by 2nd gear lol....

They can be fast little farkers.

You guys can look up ChevyChad on here, he ran one here local & he is a Procharged T/A. It was very close. I gotta give respect where its due, they can be serious competition.

Screw that. Are they fast when modded? Yes. Can they whip some of our V8 cars? Yes. but when it's all over, they are still F'n NEONS. No thanks. But hey, that's just my opinion.

If I had to get a fwd 4 cylinder I'd definitely go with an SRT-4.
