Yeah, I have been there too. I had an SRT 4 pull up next to me one night revving his motor. I had DR's on the car at the time, and feathered the throttle just right and left him by a car length before his car even started to move. Needless to say, he made an immediate u-turn.

The ignorance in these discussions comes from being unable to separate two factors. The vehicles and the drivers.

In stock for stock trim with the same driver in the same conditions the Neon has no chance. The fbody is 0.7-1.0 sec faster.

Throw in different drivers, mistakes, etc. A Neon driver might make up the difference. If they truly got a kill then so be it, congradulate the driver, but it was the driver NOT the car. (P.S. We should take the keys away from the fbody driver.)

Powell is acting like a domestic ricer. His '00 Z28 was purchased with a stroker under the hood from Weatherguy, he never owned it while it was stock.

i remeber a while back one of those srt4 owners couldnt get his oil drain plug out so he took off his oil filter and started his car to get the oil out......there is a thread about it somewhere there..........



most dodge owners (ram,neon,viper,etc) think they are the ****....and that there car/truck is the coolest thing since sliced bread......

crx = 100-1000

ls1 = 8000-20000....



College student needs to start off with a "cheap" car and not buy something on payments and still make more "payments" to mod it, not enough funds.

yeah, i see your point... when i was in HS i had an 88 Trans Am 305 TBI A4 that cost $3000 (the one in my sig), cuz no way in hell could i have afforded an LT1 car. but at the same time, i didn't spend any money on that car as far as performance stuff goes (except for throwing on a flowmaster to make it sound tolerable to me)... i saved my money and as soon as i got a real job after college, i was able to afford my firehawk. if i had been dumping money on the 88, i think it would have been money wasted.

i faced reality as to what i had, and set my goals for what i wanted... and i got it!

i'm with you guys... a lot of srt owners really dont have a clue about cars in general or what their car is capable of.....

but you do have to respect thos who do have srt's that do make real power (big turbos or good tuning)

i have all the respect in the world for ls1's, but dont bash on ALL srt owners, just on a douchbag by douchbag basis
