s10 vs neon

[rolnaldo33]

ok, this kid just wont stop giving me crap about his wonderful s10, its a 94 v6 and i got a 98 neon r/t dohc, is he just talkin crap or does anyone think i should take up his offer?

[Neon1996]

TAKE THE CHALLENGE!!! even if u lose its all for fun but it should be a close match

[rolnaldo33]

alright, ill give it a shot, i guess even if i loose, maybe ill stop hearing about it all the time, right?

[Neon1996]

yea that guys packn some weight.u can stay wit him o yea and let me hear the results. im tryn to c where neons are against other cars.the team im on has nice stuff a 180sx a toyota corolla mx-6 all imports and they say neons are slow...

[rolnaldo33]

well i was talkin to a friend of mine and he brought up a good point, its a PICKUP TRUCK, there is absolutly no weight in teh back, so if he gets goin like 70 down a hilly twisty road (which is all i have by me) his rear wheels will break loose and he'll go flying, so if anything, it should be entertaining, lol

[Scatch!]

Yeah, he couldn't even touch you in the corners. But straight-line would be interesting since he's got a V6. Take him to 120+ mph (somewhere desolate) and see if he can keep up.

[Neon1996]

i kno thats wut i meant well said scatch cause the truck cant hit more than 125. neons can bang like 130

Neons take forever in last gear in an auto. It makes me sad. I would get demolished on a roll on. Im gonna race this kid in school with a Probe, its a 2.0 4 cly too...and automatic. I almost guarantee I will win. He does have a custom muffler of some kind and its about the size of a bazooka...so when I get catback Im gonna tell him to race me. It should be funny. He weighs more than me and so does his car.

lol, a fart can huh?? i hate thoes things, they sound so stupid. if ur gonna get a muffler, get a flowmaster or somthing, not some cheap thing from the shop down the street

well im part of the neon forum but i have owned both a neon and an s-10, the only way the s-10 will spin-out on dry pavment is if he has a posi-trac rear end, is it a 2.8 or a 4.3, if he has a 4.3 id say hes got you for sure, and if its lowered he'll be taking you around the twisties too, i love neons and i know how fast they can be, but low end they dont seem to have much,but get into the highway speeds and neons own .......good luck

[rolnaldo33]

haha, i took him too the wall today, the s10 he's got has nothin. we got goin and he pulled ahead, low end tourqe (its a truck so..) but once i got into 3rd grear, i blew past him. should have bet him, lol

[Neon1996]

Way to go.good kill

[cusky ss]

yeah that sounds right, good job, now make some money off him

[blachdohcneon]

I cant belive you even thought you would lose to an s10

I beat a 86 Olds Cutlass in 3rd gear. That was an accomplishment.
