Default dumdumdumdumdum pwn3d me

Finally got beat in the hoe... Damn. Fast little bastard. Atmospheric dump, said it had a boost controller, didn't say how much boost but man was that turbo audible. Didn't race from a dig (or I would've killed him to about 50-60), from a 25mph roll he walked me pretty good and beat me by a couple lengths to 80. Fast little bastard. Needed a 150 shot to whoop on him! =)

Atmosheric dump = big turbo or a modded Stage 3......

sooooo.....should be somwhere in the range of 400whp and the thing only weighs 2900 pounds

Things are useless from digs without slicks....ask me how I know

Good death, maybe you need to bring the firebird out and give him some schooling?

Considering it says he got beat in the "hoe" in the first line; I'm going to say yes.

s r t 4, for not alot of money they can be made to trap pretty high, its when you want the things to go from a dig is when they get expensive

LOL dum dum, that's awesome. neon with a turbocharged (14psi stock) 2.4L 4 banger. Dude shifted slower than hell, so I'd start to reel when he'd shift but the longer he was in a gear the more he'd pull on me. Was still fun, racing him in a huge brick flying through the air. Not bad for a family car! Just wish the bird was done, shoot, even the TA when I had it. Would've showed him tail lights.

I think I like the name Skittle better, but anyway nice death in a Tahoe.
Hopefully you see him in the bird next time.

What a world. I don't know how many posts I have read now about dumdumdumdumdum neons beatin up on some lsx cars. But they say that how fast you wanna go depends on how much you wanna spend. And besides, you can make anything fast just spend the money.

Would've been cool to at least run with him, but the hoe just didn't have enough in it. Gears are a little tall (3.73's) on 33's, with a yank TT2600 stall. Gets it on, but I can leave in 2wd unlike before with the 4500 having to leave in 4hi and getting the worst torque steer i've ever had in my life. Oh well, can't win them all! =)

HAHA... I had one too (Don't know the HP but I Mopar S3 toys'd it with all factory parts and in HOM it went 13.40@114).

I came back to the land of no wheelhop and not enough doors for the kids...

Quick little shitbox but the S3 kit was close to $4k all done.
