A little taste of dodge neon!

Ok Hello everyone. Hot as hell here in Dallas I was pulling out of my freinds apartments when this little yellow car pulls up next to me. Now it was almost 100 degrees humid and this guy has windows down and ready to race. I said ok I have heard of these cars being fast with mods, so I give a little rolling take off and he gets on it im at second he has a tire on me, as soon as I hit 3 I pulled him and he let off, I was amazed . Now I know about neons so I asked him my exact words stage 2 or 3 he looked at me and said your right stage3 turbo upgrade. He said he dynoed over 300 hundred, he told me fastest trans am he has lost to yet, He said thats an ls1. I said no lt1 he said dam the newer camaro/firebirds ls1s dont even give him that good of a race. I even opened my hood and owed him the mighty lt1. He was cool and we chatted and drove off. Oh stage 3 is out look down more.

I gotta get me some gears. I pretty much have your set up. Is it really that big a difference versus stock gearing? How's your gas consumption & how much $$ for the 4:10 installed?

I haven't knocked heads yet with turbo neons, it would be nice to remind them of the pecking order once in a while.

I'm surprised he didn't do better than that. He should have at least stayed with you. I raced a stage 2 Neon and it pulled 5-7 cars on me from 50-95 mph, with all the mods in my sig. A stage 3 Neon should be trapping 110+.

Good Kill, I saw a pretty modded(well looked that way anyway) was pretty loud w/ rims and a ton of stickers...Figure if they run high 13's stock the car had to be able to move w/ any mods...anyway there cool, just not my cup of tea

I can't wait to see what you run. Post your trap speeds and e.t.s. That will tell us a lot about the Neon you raced.

well

Well steve since you claim to beat ls1 so bad on dradials I tell you I run 8.7 at 83mph last time I ran it so dont worry I will post. Maybe I will get some dradials like you and race a awd lancer and get 4 5 car lengths. Oh im dropping 270 300 pounds in car to does that count. Before you start to talk about me like you always do get your story straight before you start asking me. :I have read your thread you need to back yours up before you start talking about me. I have noticed you provoke threads and try to give your opinion and it is just silly. Ok let me break it down for you you have a couple of mods and you run 14.0 you dont even have gears i presume right? and you say you can spank an ls1 4-5 cars maybe if the driver had ****ty reaction time. my car stock with all bolt ons no headers at the time and no tuning was running 8.9 9.0 9.1 all the time with ****ty 60 fts ls1 were hard to beat, I even dynoed the car at that time and dynoed 291 321pounds of torque. Second your car probably dynoes what 230 240 with the mods you have. Thats 50 more horses than your car and I even had a hard time leaving ls1s. I raced a vette till I hit3 which was 90 110 and he passed me like I was standing still. I just am saying before you start to criticize my topic you need to back yours up. See I was not going to say nothing till I felt you were going somewhere with this. Look Steve I will e-mail you the slips, but on one thing run your car and see what you get and then we can compare. oh heres my car I say .3 off my times heres the 300 pounds im going tohttp://www.expertcaraudio.com/installs.cfm?Detail=37 dump all my system and batt.

Remember that you're at altitude, and that affects FI cars much less than N/A cars.

I pull LS1s out of the hole only, because of the DRs. My track is hopeless w/o DRs. I never claimed to pull on them from a roll. Cars like mine dyno 230 rwhp bone stock. I probably have 250ish rwhp, 200 lbs. less than stock and great traction. You will not get 4-5 cars on an awd Lancer driven well, out of the hole, even with DRs. The Stage 2 Neon with DRs at my track would pound you silly and you are claiming to beat Stage 3 Neons?

geo

Hey steve you still want to race the geo It runs 13.9s its about even with your car, oh yea weight reduction also 2600 pounds. Yea to bad you will never be up there in the 300 horsepower range. Look buddy go back up your story because your is so far fetched my mother was laughing, She even read your thread, My mom being a muscle car driver and collector, she laughed and said driver error on the ls1 Look I never said I would get 4-5 car lengths it was a joke, I was just saying maybe I need to get dradials like you and i was going to drop 300 pounds does that sound good, thats what I meant. Look why dont you just put a superchatger on there and get over 300 then I can probably see your story as being realistic. Ok lets try this say anybody drops 300 to 400 pounds and has about 320 at wheel lets say 1.7 1.8 60ft, my buddys lancer runs 7.8 with 1.7 60ft,my buddies t/a gets the same 60 ft and ends beating him sometimes and he is dynoing at 380 400. 400 on a good day and some tuning, like you are saying I guess it cant be done because awd right lol Look my geo would run your mustang any day and i guarantee you it will give you a run for your money. Anything could happen just like you said in your topic. why dont you get gears and small cam I will even get you a cam my buddie and me work on his 89 model all the time 120 dollars i can get you 270 range, and please dont say your car dynoes 250 my feinds 03 gt dynoes 257 with all bolt ons no headers and his o3 gt and he has a lot more than you so quit speculating and do something you know what I mean. Get you car on a dyno and get true facts. Oh if the the Neons run better than 8.5 8.6 at your track what makes you think if i had dradials I would not run better times you did right, I have done my runs on street tires 8.7 I dont think you have room to talk street tires Oh let me get some drradials lol. Oh you can bring your mustang to my track my geo will dust you probably run 13.7 with slicks lol
