Come on guys, did any of you REALLY want to read about a Neon for more than 7 seconds??

My first thought at the title was..."well what Neon doesn't get beat?"...after I clicked it my thought was "this better not be some lame ass ric(er) type story that's a page long for stupid shit that wastes a part of my life"....and he didn't disappoint. Well done, nobody wanted to hear it and you didn't make us for long!

It also has to do with the fact that Neons need a lot of maintenance to remain at the top of their game. Air filter gets a bit dirty, injectors not flowing quite 100%, and they have trouble getting out of their own way. Trouble is, they make all their power past 5k RPM, peaking out at between 6500 and 7k RPM...but at the same time, that high RPM driving is really hard on the engine seals, oil, and bearings.

Personally, I feel sorry whenever I see someone driving a neon and occasionally let them think they've won. After all, they are driving a Neon, the penalty box of automobiles. If I can ease their suffering, then I've done my good deed for the day.

funny..........

cause I feel the same way when I see someone driving a grand am..........

and hondas are suposed to be fast......

.....my lug nuts require more torque than most hondas have....

Huh...considering the Grand Am GT costs a bit more than the SRT-4 and offers amenities such as power windows for the back seat passengers, a trunk that can hold more than a couple of gym bags, and wasn't built on a platform originally intended to compete with the Geo Metro and Suzuki Swift, I'm rather at a loss as to why you would think that...unless the only thing that matters to you is your 0-60, in which case I would've bought a GTO or Mustang GT; used if their price new was too much.

I mean, the Dodge Omni GLH was a fast car too, but it was still a Dodge Omni, the penalty box of automobiles in its day and the car the Neon effectively replaced.

Or perhaps it didn't occur to you that people who buy cars like a Grand Am GT could easily afford any Neon?

209 SRT · #29 10-18-2005, 07:16 PM

so in doubt if could afford a grand am the question is would I buy one................most likely not......as far as them being anything....but a family sedan to me besides the gtp and the gto I could care lesssss.......a buick lesabre would intrest me more..

I dont think power windows is a big deal for srt-4 owners. Perhaps it didnt occur to you that people who buys car like Srt-4's dont really care much about grand am gt's larger trunk space
