MAX vs DODGE NEON

[wunfstmax]

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.

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.

[joeB]

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

[ogparjay]

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.....

[jody3x3]

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

[SkyTorch]

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.

[WDzSin]

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

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?
