I've got my lo3 with full exhaust and open element. New wires plugs and such. I'm guessing around 200 hp by what people on the TBI boards say. My friend has a 96 neon, its a 4 banger w/ a 5 speed. He's got some breather mods and a pulley. We're going to take them to the dragway soon and see who wins. Any takes on what you think will come out on top?

you easily

 

my thoughts too. If any thing kills me in this race, its going to be my damn 2.73 peg.

Making 200 hp, you should be running mid 15's in the quarter? The neon i think has about 135 hp, so it should be no contest, I think you got this one in the bag.

 

You'll murder him off the line and then you'll pull on him horrendously in the 1/4, so don't even sweat it man, you've got this!!!

 

This isn't even an issue. The neon has no chance (unless he swapped motors or something).

 

Even though both are slow the neon is 17 sec + slow to your potential 15's slow. That is a lot of distance inbetween the two cars. You will murder face him.

 

If his car has a hump on the hood and two tips comin off the muffler then its a dohc and it has 150hp. Dohc 5-speed neon coupes have been known to get into the 15's with exhausts and intakes.

 

Dude......You better not have any problems beating a Neon, I raped a R/T in my damned XR5 already, This topic should not have been posted

 

Yeah, the R/Ts aren't even fast... I spanked one with my LG4

Now, if you haven't seen the car yet and you see SR/T-4 on the side of the car when you pull up to race, just turn around and go home.

 

those new srt4s run 13.9 in the quarter stock IIRC. mad fast 4banger.

Look who's talking.

 

well we raced, although we couldnt get to the track. we ran at a place right around a quarter, maybe a littler longer. I beat him. off the line i would get about a cars length on him so he was about 2-4 feet off of my back bumper. Then for the rest of the run thats where he stayed. didnt drop further back or catch up at all. I know I would have done much better with gears and posi.
