ok this theres punk *** doofus running around here with a neon(little base model with i tihnk that 120hp 2.0),and hes packin a 50 shot of juice.i believe hes totally stock,maybe a CAI,if that.i dont think he even has an exhaust,cause i saw him today,and it wasnt loud or anything when he went by me.i plan on racing him at some point in hopes of showing him that even with nitrous hes still slow.any thoughts guys?im figuring that that 50 shot at the most would get him up to around 170,but with no other mods done,especially exhaust,i doubt hes pushing more than 160.and its an auto too i believe.i think it will be close,as im heavier,but have the torque advantage.what ya'll think?

Base model, stock, automatic Neon?

Stomp him. :-)

89camaroRSV6

is he one with a real NOS system..or a sticker that says NAWS/...

????

Mark A Shields

Or that new bass tube.

I'd say it might be closer than expected.

88IROCZJG

I'd say don't take him too lightly or you could be surprised big time. The weight difference makes a big difference and your L03 is only 170 HP and your on 2.73's too. With a real 50 shot it's gonna be a good race maybe. If you had different gears like 3.73's I would give it to you. Post the results when you do race him.

89camaroRSV6

but in most cases i havent seen people puttin NOS in a stock neon with nothing else in it...

89camaroRSV6

and 8IROCZJG is right if he really does have a 50 shot..its gonna be close...also depends on if he knows how to use it...

Chronos_Titan

Stomp the little *****.

IROCBOY

If I were him I would worry about putting nitro in a stock grocery getter. I'd say if the nitro works the race would be close, but torque will probably put you over the top. I HATE LITTLE RICERS THAT THINK NITRO IS GONNA SAVE THEIR BUTT!!! I'm rootin' for you so make me proud!

tpivette89

why would anyone put nitrous in a stock Neon? they already blow head gaskets like its theyre job, then these ***** idiots add compressed nitrous to an already weak design. boy, its like hes asking for his motor to blow. anyway, if its the base engine its probably somwhere in the low 17s - high 16s, and with a 50 shot id put him in the low 16s or so.

I've been waiting for months to post this link and finally I have found the right thread:

http://www.ag.auburn.edu/users/gparmer/articles/neon/

Read that and it will answer all your questions about neons and NOS. LOL!!

I hate to be the devils advocate, (hehehehe), but I used to regularly race a buddy of mine, who owned a 1st gen Neon (with a 5 speed, and 132 horse). At the time, I had a basically stock L03 with a flowmaster 3", an accel coil, a K&N in the stock airbox, and a centerforce 2 clutch. I would regularly get pasted by him from stoplight to stoplight. Most 4 cylinder compacts have extremely low first gears, which help them to get the momentum up quickly. After he'd scoot away from me in first (while my car has to wind up to 45 MPH before 1st gear is done ), I'd have to play catchup. Often, there wouldn't be enough space to catch him.
By this time, I was already plenty experienced on how to launch the Firebird, so it definitely wasn't driver error.

I think with a 50 horse shot, he may be hard to catch if you're stock, or close to it.

Race him and tell us.

NTChrist

WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT?!?! It's great! I want more!

91rsrider

well im waiting for the weather to clear up some around here.prolly next week,hopefully this weekend,ill see him around and get a chance to race his punk ***.i hear ya about the head gaskets,what POS motors those are.this kids a dumbass and has like 4 friends,and has a hott girl whos afraid to leave him.and he starts **** with my girl at school.so hes getting a good beating,but not after i whoop his *** in a race.im pretty sure hes totally stock.he does have a manual though.but im sure he doesnt know how to launch,and i wouldnt bet against him hitting the button right off of a launch,so i would be handed the win there.plus,its a FRIGGIN NEON!!ill let you guys know as soon as i race him how it came out.i just hope to *** i beat him.if not then i lost to a juiced neon.worse could happen i guess.

FyreLance

Are you sure it's base model? IIRC, the Sport Neon packs 150HP and weighs about half as much as your car, so be careful.

CrazyHawaiian

read that link ... they got a stock neon with a 150 shot to run a 13.8 ..... once hahahhaha

That link is hilarious!!! I know someone who does that sort of thing (rents a car to put Nitrus in it), he could help me with mine me thinks . BTW automatic neons 132 or 150hp versions are mid to high 17 sec cars. You car take an easy 2 sec off of that for a 5 speed. If this guy knows how to launch, has a 5 speed, and knows when to hit the giggle gas, I think he's got you. Take any one of those factors out and it turns into a much closer battle. The only way to find out for sure is to run him and tell us what happened.

FyreLance

lmao, I just now read that link... that's great:sillylol:

Mustang5L5

my sis had a SOHC Automatic neon. Slowest car in the world! I awas afraid to merge on the highway with that thing!

Now she has an Eclipse RS! Her boyfriend keeps trying to convince her to put race mods on it but since I am the one that does the maintainence on it I won't let her! Besides, it's even slower than the neon! And he thinks it's fast! I gotta give him a ride in my car sometime soon if i ever grow to actually like the kid

iroc22

Kapppooooeeeee there goes the head gasket.

Next time thrifty changes the oil, anti-freeze will be with it.

How could the head gasket last when a daily driven neon blows a head gasket?

ok, that was halirious!
if you got anymore, plz post them up!!

and to the camaro RS vrs the 50hp'ed nos'ed automatic neon?
go kick his ***.. you'll win.. everybody rags on LO3's but come on, they can beat neons, even with a 50 hp shot.

take him off a dead stop.. make sure you load u'r suspension, kill him..
and post it up.. i like to hear fallow ups..
(then kick his *** for fooling around with u'r g/f)

89 rs305

You should beat him with no problem. I just beat a dodge sst and my only mod is an open element with k&n. He did spin longer than I did, which helped me pull away, but after about 50 I pulled off and left him anyway. I was actually expecting him to win, but never was smart enough to back down . I forgot i also have a flowmaster, but I still have the tiny factory exaust and cat. Let us know how it turns out.

91rsrider

well im still waiting for the damn weather to clear up around here.been nothing but rain for the past few days,and doesnt look like its going to clear up for another 2-3 days.so i wont be racing anyone for a little bit

FiReBReTHa

cough, auto neons are for ****< heres a link... he takes Z28s before he did extra work,

DRKTEALV6BRD

the dumb ***** is gonna blow his motor with a 50 shot on a stock neon....i swear sometimes i think the rice gets into their brains

89 rs305

Is the race still on or did the unspeakable happen? Let us know. Later

Absalom

Personaly.. I think you would waste him and I hope you do. IF something happens and you find yourself in a bind.. you could always ram him And even if you do take second.. at least you will have a car to drive home Neon + Juice is like a hamster on speed.. how long would that last?

SpeedCat86

Yeah, maybe it'll be like the first race scene in 'Fast &The Furious', when the dude hits his second stage and the floor blows out of his Eclipse.

When you do race him, get someone to video it so we can all se the fire ball when he blows the heads off his motor.

riggs86iroc

yes kick his butt

mikesstkiroc

so whats up with the race like everyone said be carefull but you will probably beat him and yes he will probably blow his motor. ive talked to people who had nos in stock cars and 3 out of 5 of them now have blown motors or motor damage. STAY AWAY FROM NITROUS

ChillPhatCat

I hate it when my floor pan blows off cuz I'm runnin' too much NAWWZZZ

It's safe if you know wtf you're doing I plan on running a 150 to 200 shot on the new motor.

psycomaross

NOS is a cheap, easy to install, fast, and effective. There is no other modification that can add power so fast and cheap, except if you use it alot.

mikesstkiroc

well then i think you need to do a little more reading and talk to a little more people about the nos. It is a lot more then just slaping it in and going. and if you do just slap it in and go somewhere down the road you are going to blow something no matter how many time you use it. your stock motor can only hold so much without any other bottom end work before something happens. And if you have already done this "cheep and fast" mod good luck you probably will need it.
