You guys should try reading the whole thing. They admit they were being sarcastic about it hitting the wall @ 85 mph, apparently it was some long running joke or something?

Also, the guy who said 5th gen was an obvious type, he said he had had 5 4th gen Fbodies and listed his later model 4th gens along with his LT1 era cars in that list.

The dude did say it had a 5.6L with a lot of conviction lol. Luckily, several people were there to jump his *** and correct him. Jake how did you stumble upon such an old thread?

Am I ******* missing something here? Are these guys talking about the Neon SRT 4? There was a guy running around back in my home town a few yrs back with one of those **** boxes. Always wanting to race me. Guy kept dumping more and more money into his car, bigger turbo, etc. I still kept busting his ***, bus lengths, it was ******* hilarious. My car is near stock, FIPK, loudmouth, gutted cats, 1SC stripper 6spd, even on shitty *** sumitumo tires. Lol

That's what I said, you get full props just for making it past page 3, but since you actually read the whole thing, all I can say is

Amarillo did and he found the quote above (among many, many, many, others I'm sure). You'll have to try a little harder to convice us that the information being thrown around in that thread is due to sarcasm or inside jokes. Just not possible lol

Man I sure am glad I bought a WS6 to start with so I dont have to try swap engines from one.

I think some of the thread was sarcasm but others were obviously dead serious about that ****. The ones that really got me where the serious ones... Come on guys, "You can't fix stupid!" - Ron White

Why do I need to try and convince you guys about something that is pretty obvious on behalf of people who posted something 5 and a half years ago? I said it was about the 85 mph hitting the wall, pretty sure I didn't say it was anything else.

You did say to read the whole thread. Either way, it was just a joke, didnt mean anything by it. My bad if the sarcasm came across the wrong way.

Nah that was MY bad man. I was just being an *******, I don't know why I always come across as one on the internet, it's really not in my nature at all lol. No hard feelings on my end.
