Why do I keep hearing that the NEON SRT-4 is faster than our cars. I beat one on the highway a few months ago. The kids pulled over and said , "Oh, you have the track model, That's why?". I said "No, they all have the same engine, so the result would have been the same". Then he said, all I have to do is upgrade the turbo, and I said,"all I have to do is add a TT. I'm tired of hearing about how fast this HYundia, I mean NEON is quicker.

this quote is retarded, the guy states that NA cars dont mod well, but he only runs mid 11's with 124 mph trap? FWD is a waste in drag racing. I guess modding na cars doesnt make sense but a fwd neon is a good platform for drag racing

I stopped reading after page six. It just got too stupid.

I also agree about the expensive comment. Maybe its just because they're used to taking a cheap-econobox grocery getter and slapping a turbo on it and calling it fast. For me right now, $30k is a bit pricey, but its not terribly expensive.

Im not going to deny the fact that SRT4s are slow cause theyre not, there actually pretty damn quick. I had a hard time pulling on one in a bone stock M5 but the SRT4 was modded for sure.

"So I raced a 350Z from a dig today. Boy was that old lady driving shocked when I pulled like 6 cars on her in first gear. "

the old lady obviously didn't bother... silly

just mention that unfortunatly it takes a turbo for thier neon to keep up with our NA car.

Tell them to take the turbo off then see who's king...

Funniest quote:

"So I raced a 350Z from a dig today. Boy was that old lady driving shocked when I pulled like 6 cars on her in first gear. And she even had it in 'manumatic' mode! I told you 350Z's are slow"

6 car lengths in first. Wow, now I am impressed. I didn't know that any car could do that. And it was an old lady that probably wasn't even racing him.

My goodness what a dumb MF'er.

So what's the deal with the SRT? It's basically just a turbo Neon right? I think I saw one the other day....it had a wing on it that made me want to .

This must be the ignorant section of the board. Who gives a crap about which car is faster. The Neon is simply junk and I know first hand because my son's future wife had one. Those things can't make 50,000 miles without massive repairs. Futhermoe, I could strap a rocket to the back of a wagon and it would beat both cars.

The Z has one of the best engines in the world, the Neon one of the worst. Plus the thing develops more leaks then my 1949 Buick.

Give me a break and end this topic.

not to be a neon advocate, but they are pretty cool little packages for the money, and take to mods pretty damn good. People care about which car is faster or else they wouldnt have posted this. But from everything you see the neon is no quicker than a z stock for stock.
