Stupid Neons?

[blk_srt]

Well where i live there are tons of neons but i have to give props to about 3 of them, one being a 99 white r/t nothing special but it has rims and a kit and soon to be turbo'd, another being a red srt-4 almost stock, but the one i must say is the coolest neon ive ever seen is a 99 blue r/t. fully build 420a with a huge turbo(I'd tell you what it is but I dont remember off hand) and all the supporting mods and at 22psi he puts down 600whp on a daily driven car with stock interior and exterior with just some 17s

Think again, 2004 models and up have an LSD.

Even though they had a good engine to work with, you're right, they were butt ugly.

i love the srt4 one of my favorite practical cars. i dont think the old neons are that ugly. dont blame the car cause people rice them out the car didnt asked to be riced out. plus civics are way worse about ricing than neons.

Nothing against neon owners, but it make's no sense to throw five to ten thousand at a two thousand dollar car..

u can't be any more right. why would u spend 10 gs trying to make ur drivers ed car fast. its not possible. it goes for all of these f***en imports. as i say to fart cannon owners "ur car sounds like my ass after a night of mexican food"

I can see you adding a lot of useful information to AF.

As for people trying to make a Neon, or any other small displacement car fast. Many people have done it and it is pretty easy to make one blow the doors of your Jimmy. I'd say get a better attitude or you probably won't last long here.

I'm sorry but I have to add in my thoughts here.

Trying to make a Neon fast... is just ridiculously stupid and pointless. With the time and money invested, you could buy a much nicer/faster car. Sure, they're light... but thats about all they're good for, Neons are economy cars not race cars.

Depends on which model you are comparing it to really... Civic, Accord, etc.

Why? Are you gonna try to come up with some stupid comparison between a Neon and Prelude? If so, dont waste your time... there is no comparison at all.

[blakscorpion21]

neons are better than a prelude i read a story where they got this srt up to like 230 mph. and a srt will blow the doors off any stock honda anyday. the s2000 would be close but it does cost like 12k more.

In my area, a lot of middle age, and older people drive Neons. It really pisses me off when I see them on the highway and they are doing 45 to 50 mph with a line of cars behind them. Don't they realize that their cars are slow and they need to get out of the way? Get off the highway if that's as fast as your car can go. And it never fails to have one pull out in front of me, or change lanes and get in front of me and drive 20 miles under the speed limit. I used to say, "Oh here comes another moron in a Neon!" Now my wife says the same thing as she hates these cars on the highway too.

[blakscorpion21]

its not that the cars are that slow its the drivers.

I wasnt talking about an SRT-4, I was talking about a regular stock Neon.. big difference.

Oh, and thanks for providing useless information because comparing an N/A car to a FI car is totally pointless.

[blakscorpion21]

a reg. neon will still beat non si civics. and your welcome for the useless info.

When will you ever learn ludespeed?

Last I checked most Hondas are the same damn thing. Also, if you really want to get into it I really think that the Neon would be a better platform to modify than any Honda for one simple reason it has a closed deck engine and takes very well to being turbo-charged. I'm not just talking about the 2.4L I am talking about the 2.0L engines they put in the ugly first gens.

Your precious Hondas use open deck engines that don't like to be turbo-charged or modified at all. Honda did not design the majority of their engines with performance in mind. That includes the Prelude.

They may be butt ugly, but they are damn easy to make fast. Anyone denying that needs to do some more research before they make stupid comments like this. Then again this is something ludespeed should be used to by now.

I'm aware that Honda engines arent friendly with turbos....

Polygon.. you have your opinions and I have mine, I think spending money on a 130hp+ car is pointless, you may disagree. Honestly, I can careless. I was just stating my opinion, nothing wrong with that...

Who gives a shit about a Neon or Civic, they are fucking 2.0L engines with 130hp+. Why bother arguing over it, jesus....
