and the shitty Srt4istoast..i have different mods puting me at mid 14'sthat cosrt far lesssoitthe driver who winsremebersynergty of Car and driver the car doesn'twin when its close the driver wins

but withthe aforemetioned mods the Srt4 is toast for far less
hahahaa

Srt4iscshit compared to the stickered 16kSpecv..

I think the jist of what your saying is the Spec V is better than the SRT4? Dude, the neon runs 14.2 in the quarter STOCK! It retails for less than 20k. Add a boost controller, injectors, and maybe sparkplugs and youve got a mid to high 13 second sedan for the same cost as a V8 fbod. And a nismo chip is NOT going to net you 40 more wheel horsepower in a stock Spec V, thats just ridiculous.

A neon what runs 14.2?

WOW, when did this turn into the new Neon forum???

I thought I'd chime in on this with my 02, some people get autos for different reasons, not that they can't drive one or don't prefer a manual, an auto just makes more sense, for instance:

My wife drives my car from time to time and she can't drive a stick so I have to have an auto, also there are some things that I can do in normal city traffic that most manual driver's can't, like dial on my cellular.

So you see whoever made the statement that it's just a guy thing is just full of themselves and all that macho bravado really doesn't mean jack, it doesn't make you any less of a man or driver because you drive an auto.

you youngins don't know jack

We already have our redneck of the forums thank you, we don't need another.

no one should drive while using a cell phone and girls shouldn't drive at all. My pet peeve: girl on cell phone in suv.

[BigDanTheMan]

there are exceptions to my girls on the road philosophy - I've seen some girls drive better then 80% of the guys i know, but i feel comfortable with that general, blanket statement.

And note that the SUV never has any dirt on it ... thats the worst. People who buy cars that serve a specific purpose and never use em.

Have you seen that lifted silverado with the escalade front end around town? That guy refuses to take it off road cause hes afraid the paint will get scratched Personally I think that thing is lifted too high, I stood next to it (being 6' 6") and I am eye level with the hood.

[450HPviper]

6' 6" and only eye level with the hood, That's alittle too high to believe.

[BigDanTheMan]

well is is 6.6 at least, so that's true - and there are some dumb ass rich people in our town. I'll buy melt's story.

The current Ford AOD-E in the Mustang GTs just suck.

For a mustang, get a 5speed.

If you can afford it, get a 6.

Woooo, hold the phone! The AOD-E in all respects is a lot better the AOD and previous auto trans in the mustang. It has many features that the AOD was lacking. Just like any tranny they have their ups and downs, but you can't just say this one just plain sucks?

[Los]

IMO, it doesn't matter how well or better the AOD-E is over the AOD. Compared to a 5 speed GT, it might as well be an AOD.
