MAX vs DODGE NEON

Somebody said to me that he saw a Stock DODGE NEON 95 race quarter miles against a stock max, and the NEON win!

Bizzare
(The max was 5 speed)

Anything to say?

naaa.........:rolleyes: :p

that is one shitty driver in the maxima... or it broke

It's impossible for a stock Neon to beat a Max. I race my 2000 max se against a neon and it was a easy win. By the way I used to own a neon,
neon is pretty fast for it size but no way it can beat a Max. :flash:

was the maxima in nuetral being pushed

The Max must not have been racing, or the Neon wasn't stock.

was the max going in reverse?

The Max must running on 4 cylinders.:dogpile: :dogpile:

Either the Max's driver was on some serious high-speed pharmaceuticals or whoever you heard that "ca-ca" from was! Heck, a totally bone-stock 3rd Gen Max SE (of which I have) can virtually suck the doors off a Neon! And I have an auto!!! Now, don't get me wrong, the Neon R/T is preeettty fast, all things considered. But no way it'll run with the big dogs, pardner!!! And if ANYONE wants to prove me wrong, I'll be more than happy to provide my address if you're willing to let me take a pic of you crying because your @$$ got whooped by "VE Power"!!!

Trip to ND - Varies by location
Beer or wine to gain courage - $10
Pic of you crying your eyes out because you got beat by a 4-door "family" car - PRICELESS!! BwaaHaaaHaaa!!!!

I have personally been spanked hard by a turbo neon other than that good luck. I have one thing to say "I want some of what is being smoked by the guy that said stock vs. stock the neon won"

DITTO!!!

"those neons are tYte Yo !" they say "hi" and everything..... :)

id put money that my 97 neon (not stock) will spank ur max!!!!:)

WOW! Thats intelligent, you are VERY smart.

Whoever said that stock quote is on that new drug>
PRILO-CRACK!!

My mom has a neon and she rode in my 2k Max and thought that was too fast, just wait til she rides in my 2k3.

eh it could happen if...the max was a 87....or if it was a 89-91 se....or if it was a 95-99 and he miss 2nd 3rd and 4th....and maybe the neon had a very bad redlight....unless its an r/t it beat me but i have an auto max, but not as bad as a stock 5spd max did

Must Have Been A Srt-4 Them Things Really Fast Ive Drove One And I Know According To Car And Driver They'll Beat A Vette 0-60 Correct Me If Im Wrong. But A Stock Neon Beating A Max I Highly Doubt It!!!

Well, hell no, it won't beat a Vette, unless you're talking someone's Magazine racer times or some fantasy some guy had on the Neon board.

I believe Frosty has 3 videos of his Turbo 2k Max smoking the Neon SRT and on the videos you can clearly see the SRT running mid 14's at best, so there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of a Neon SRT beating a Vette.

I hope the Vette guys don't come here thinking we all believe that a stock SRT Neon would beat a Vette.

Car and Driver never said that a SRT4 neon would beat a vette..
The vette is 4.6 - 4.8 0 to 60. The 04 SRT4 is faster than the 03
SRT4. I just read in Car and Driver that the 04 SRT4 now gets
0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds. The new vette that is now comming out is
supposed to be much faster, 0 to 60 4.2 or so. :grinno:

i think performance per dollar id bet the vette is the best car u can buy especiallythe Z06 thats getting even better withthe C6 i said 0-60 i think a SRT-4 will beat a vette. As for the 0-60 times on the SRT-4 vs. the Z06 i dont know the times on that one.

I dont think a SRT4 can beat the current vette, even though
they are both gonna be pretty close. The Z06 0 to 60 is around
4.1. :)

I'd Rather get a Mercedes E55 AMG, which goes 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. And it's a sedan. Gotta love German Engineering.

i test drove a 2003 neon r/t and told the dealer i wasted my time on that BS. i have a 96max, 5sp. the 2003 would never see the time of day, so theres no way a 95 would come close, by the way i smoke tem all the time. put it back in the league with the civics and accords

why would anyone spend money to fix a neon? i saw a neon recently and it had chrome wheels, (personally i don't like chrome) what a waste of money.....

i have had my 96 maxima for 4 years. i have only had v8s since i was 16. i am very imppressed with the perfomance i get from my 5sp. Max. I never go to the track, but i smoke ALL cars in my class on I-285 in Atl. a dealer told me the maximas horsepower is truly underated, for those who dont have maximas. and i believe it. does anyone know what top speed is for the 1996 year? mines is governed at 120mph, but i can easily bypass it by diconnecrting the speedometer. I get 120 in 4th gear at 4000~4300 rpm. when i disconnect the speedometer hit 120 in 4th, then shift to 5th, it is another world. i was racing a ZX9 ninja (just 4 fun) to see how fast i was going, he said i was doing at least 145mph. I burnt 2002 Volvo S80, 2000 gran prix gtp or gtx(whatever), 325 bimmer, 2003 dodge hemi truck, ran with a 96 impala SS(top end)and many others mention. all i did was take out the stock air box, and put a cone air filter in. a full tank used to give me 388 mile, with that new air filter i get 410~420 mi per tank, and when its raining i can spin thru 5th gear(no lie) i always catch 2nd, and sometime 3rd. whats the real deal with this car? its it truly underrated, and what the top speed ungoverned?
[B]AND WHY IS THE INSURANCE SO DAMN HIGH

Report

Insurance? The car is advertised like a sports car. It's powered like a sports car. Hell, it's hard to act right in a car that does 80mph at 2500rpm's(gen4auto). Every driver of a Gen 4 or above I have ever seen on the freeway is passing people, and we don't even have to be anywhere. We cannot be contained. It's the car! It makes us act this way.

All i have to say is that drugs are bad!!!!

I have a 3rd generation Maxima...

...and I'll put money that I will beat any neon besides the SRT-4

but i can easily bypass it by diconnecrting the speedometer. <quoted by Jody

How in the world does this do anything for your speed limit? The speed/top speed of your car is governed by a computer/CPU not by a connection to your speedometer.
Can you explain in detail what you mean?
