A roll might be a race.....from a dig he might catch up after the 1/8.If u run why not just use a 50 shot or 75?Hes all juiced out,it might move good.

i dont know much about camaros etc and how they are with mods...i do know that with the right mods etc a srt4 can be death on the freeway...i raced one on 25psi and still wasnt good for him...and if this guy your talking about is at 15psi..then i dont he has a upgrade turbo,fuel etc...probably just basics...

but they can be deadly..just watch out...

Depending on traction it might be close. You'll pull him hard down low if he doest brake boost.

F.Y.I.: The fact that it's a neon is part of what gives it the appeal. There's something fun about taking a cheap lunchbox on wheels and making it stupid fast... especially considering that a neon should have no business putting out the kind of power it is capable of (with simple mods).

Don't let em fill your head with bs. It's a nice lookin car for 1, mean lookin front end with a stock fmic too, and has warrantied mods, on top of lsd stock, on top of being best bang for the buck, and practical. They try and compare it to richer cars cause they have nothing else to say about it, that's their last resort cause it's a nice car, period. But they'll try n belittle it comparing it to a kia or w/e they could think of, around here when these little peons drive by ppl look and stare they are nice cars, and they sound good too. I've noticed a lot of the muscle car ppl that hate on other cars resort to belittling them as if they drive a firrari themselve's, they have nothing else to go on they're just butthurt that their precious 2 door sports car that they think is all end all can actually get beat by so many of the newer import sports cars with minimal mods, then they proceed to call them rice even if they're faster, because they're butthurt, that's just the bottom line.

1. You're on an ls1 website, or did you forget that? classic fan-boy mentality on the wrong site.

2. I'm sure the history of Neon would dictate a huge enthusiast following that could compare to that of a pontiac firebird or a chevrolet camaro? no?

3. Would you drive a neon? no? but you'd drive an srt-4? It's a Neon. definately not for me though. They took a economy car and tossed a turbo on it, everything else is still economy neon. So sure it might be fast, but still a 4-door economy car with a turbo (even more economical). Unless I missed somthing. Since when were neon's anything other than cheap reliable transportation.

4. Probably more than 97% of new stock cars make less power and are slower than a stock ls1 in a straight line. 5 years after their last production model ls1 f-body. Go ahead and name some comparatively priced new cars that would be in the 30k range like an f-body would have been that would compare? What? EVO and............EVO... OH and used supras/3000gtvr4's, etc. haha.

In a word, YES. Slip your clutch off the line and then let it rip. If he tries to launch, it'll just wheel hop. When I drove my friend's SRT4 I had to short shift to 2nd because first would do nothing but hop no matter what we did.

IBTL

Run what ya brung and hope you brought enough. Only way to find out is to race and see what happens. Good luck in the race.

Remember the wooley mammoth on Pinks? That car is FAST! But I wouldn't want to be seen driving it around town. This is how I feel about SRT-4's. They can be built to be real fast without breaking the bank but at the end of the day they still look a Neon. And Neons IMO are fugly cars marketed towards girls. So I wouldn't want to be seen driving one even if it was a 10 second car.

But that's just me.
