My setup

[fetterjohn]

well not to be a prick but i'd like to see a time slip from the car if you think it will beat a GT. I'll be impressed if it runs low 13's.

like i said, not being a dick. My first post was just busting your balls.

GT's aren't all that fast...

no they aren't... but i have seen them run high 13's stock. My z-28 ran 13.3's stock and i was beating them by a second or less.

So what does that neon run?

high 13s stock. Not saying it will destroy a stang, but it will be a driver's race with the neon having a slight advantage. I have raced 2 this fall, one from a dig and one from a roll. Beat them both. Not saying they were great drivers, but neither was I. This is my first 5spd car.

I know you are not trying to be a prick...all in good fun. You're just lucky I haven't even brought the Yankees into this :laugh: :sign:

I'll see if I can dig up some stock timeslips...

From car and driver:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.3 sec
Zero to 100 mph: .13.4 sec
Zero to 130 mph: .24.8 sec
Standing 1/4-mile: 13.9 sec @ 103 mph

It's hard to criticize a well-priced car that can smoke a number of higher-priced sports cars (the Honda S2000 and Nissan 350Z come to mind).

Drew,

Too bad you're not in So Cal, I'd take you up on a race (GT vs Neon), for sticks of course.

lol...that would be pretty neat. I am possibly going to be driving the neon down there this fall on the way to Tijuana

O snap!!! Yeah go ahead... I already know they are the best team in baseball history!!


That lil car is quicker then I figured. All this talk about racing and quick cars is making me miss mine. :angry:

Rod--is your GT stock? Drew? Same question.

 

[Rod]

It's stock for now, but that will be changing soon. Going to be putting a lot of new upgrades on it this summer.

 

[drew_goring]

Basically stock for now as well. Hopefully 400hp by summer/fall

Well you definitely have a nice setup as far as smoke goes. I'm amazed at the progression of your addiction!!

I'm sure the Neon is fast enought to get to the B & M in case the coolidor runs low!!
