at the Track this summer...

[Derk_eliso]

My buddy thinks his car is the fastest car in the world, he is a bit exgarrating. He told me that he hit 110 before a quarter mile...obviously not possible unless you have like a ferrari... He drives a Neon NON SRT4. 2.0 DOHC. He wants to race me now, and I told him no because he's stupid and I don't feel like dieing on these icy roads, so we're going to the track with friends as soon as it opens....anyway question time. His Neon versus my Cavy.... who would win? 2.2 Non Ecotech, 2.5 inch catback, greddy style exhaust system, 4" tip, Cold air intake, Auto (mine) versus 2.0 DOHC, 3" muffler tip, cold air intake, 5-speed...

P.S. Hi guys I'm back, lol. Hope my Canadian Buddy responds, lol.

[notaricajustfasta]

he will win. and I also doubt that he hit 110 at a 1/4 mile.

[millrtime]

yup he will win. might be kinda close if its a 4 door but pretty sure he will nudge ahead.

[Schister66]

I would give him 1000:1 odds that hes going to win. I'm sorry, but your Cavalier is going to run a mid 15 at best but i bet you're going to be in the mid 16s whereas the SRT4 is going to run low 14's and maybe a high 13 if it is BONE STOCK. I'm sorry to tell you but you dont have a chance against him. I raced my buddy's SRT4 before my GSR was turboed and it was a pretty bad race...he took me pretty much from the beginning. If you can beat a 99 GSR Integra (which idk if you can or not) then you're on your way....GOOD LUCK regardless!!

The Neon is NOT a SRT4.

I'd give the race to the neon though because he has a manual vs your auto.

[Schister66]

oh i see that now...i skim read everything and i say SRT4 so i just assumed it was an SRT4. Then i really dont have any idea.....

[Phife]

aww come on guys.. hes got a 4" exhaust tip.. hes definatly gonna win!

But seriously.. i know my auto tranny with shiftplus can out shift a manual, maybe you should pick up a shiftplus, its cheap and does make the shift faster.

I can't, 3-spd auto, not 4-spd. Already looked into it. Yeah base model neon vs base model cavalier. Most likely going to be close but I just wanted some reassurance, lol.

[Derk_eliso]

hopefully it looks similar to this.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwFgkagIpDg

[Lances133]

Nope, Neon for the win. I'd be unsure going up against one even in my z24...even tho I think i'd have the edge on him

[PsychoJJ]

A z would take it no problem Lance. As for Darks cav.....nope, not gonna happen. Even if you got a push start from a lambo its not gonna happen.

[Lances133]

nice, Ps. Where have you been Derk? Doing the "dad thing" ?

[DeadBlade89]

I have a friend also who owns a neon w/ the same exact 2 mods. he thinks hes unstoppable. i just laugh at him...

but ya... if ur friend has a "sport" model then he will prolly win by a half a car length give or take. if he has a "highline" model, he will probably just edge u out. sport kicks out 150 HP, highline kicks out about 130 HP...

so either way, u will prolly lose unless he misses a shift

[spudracer73]

dude have faith...i know people like your friend. sad but true... he will rev his little engine to get peoples attention and then he'll pop the clutch to try to do a burnout and he will destroy the cv shafts and (unless some act of hezuse happens) he'll stall and his engine will be f^$%ed

[jerseycavyz24]

Like PsychoJJ said if u had a 2.4 u beat him by 2 secs, i've raced my friend when he had his neon n kicked the living shit outta him. But should be a head to head race, interesting to see what happens. let us kno.
