yeh ran quite a few low 30 late 20 somethings in their 3-series... been many a waste of gas for myself :)

told ya..
SRT4 is 13.7 stock
not bad for a car under 20k :thumbup:
turn up the boost. upgrade injectors, and you have yourself a decent car..
you seen the factory upgrade turbo kits? :eek2: :eek2: :eek1:

You seen how ugly they are?

Yes, the neon is a fast car, but I wouldnt be caught dead driving a souped up rental car. Fit and finish, plasticky interior and the bug eyed exterior just doesnt do it for me. For 20k, I'd pick up a 95' sc300 and drop a 2JZ-GTE in there. :thumbup:

Thats my 2 cents.

13.7 stock? never seen that... except in a magazine running on a gtech...
14.0 is the fastest i've seen at a track or a vid of...

turn up the boost, bigger injectors, etc and you can make some big power... but you'll just sit and spin

the Neon will never be a FAST car... its wrong wheel drive... did i mention its FUGLY? :D

NRG Sep 30, 2003 11:54 PM

the srt4 isnt that bad..
looks like a dodge viper fron the front..
but i wouldnt buy it myself.. but the speed is their for under 20k haha.
13.7 on slicks :D

wow.
how stupid.

BPU and you have 12 sec car
look are a matter of opinon - I dislike the WRX and EVO profile - but I think the car can perform.
The point is it's fast - it's cheap - and it can spank most of the car out there.

bizzy928 Oct 1, 2003 12:16 PM

Its fast, its cheap, its still a Neon...

rominl Oct 1, 2003 12:30 PM

i met a guy with a SRT, sat in the car and i asked you bought the car last yr? no i bought the car 3 months ago, why?

i didn't say anything, coz' inside the car, besides the loud exhaust, all i heard was rattling here and there, wind coming through the windows everywhere, and the rear suspension was making a funny noise.

so much for under 20k

fireballs gs400 Oct 1, 2003 12:51 PM

seeen one fixed up as well
 
ricer's dream imo. it was ugly with some crappy stickers and a funky wing. i told him "thats the first one i seen". he said yeah, its a turbo, and its fast. n e way...not my cup of pee!!!

For the market they are targeted, this is one hell of a car for under $20,000. It seems that when ANY car that comes out with decent HP we bash it to pieces on here. You must think for those who have Chrysler Family, this car will be dirt cheap, fast, serviceable all over the place, few upgrades your looking at 12's... For the MARKET they are targeting, this car is hitting the nail on the head, they will sell tons of these.

it's like if Honda sells a turboed Civic under 20k everyone would buy it. It's like Hyundai selling a Turbo Accent. Probably the fastest car under 15k but it's still a falling-apart Hyundai. Big deal.

Those neons are fast for the buck but hey not everyone can sacrifice even the most basic qualities and fitment for speed. I can pick up a 93' FD3S for like 13k, faster, handles better, looks better, and probably alot better quality than a brand new Neon.

FDs are great :D

LexFather Oct 2, 2003 03:42 AM

Who the hell buys a Neon for fit and finish or quality? I think it's a GREAT CAR and for 20k, THE performance car to have. It makes the Honda Si's and the Scions or COrolla S downright silly


I say great work Dodge!.:thumbup:
