Stupid Neons?

[fatguy33]

I live in a little no nothing town in Wisconsin but i swear the cool thing to do around this area is to have a damn neon. I mean this people that drive these cars in this area try to make them look all badass when really they are just wasting their money. Its gets to a point where it just makes you angry when have time you have a neon pull up along side you it has a stupid little exhaust tip to make it sound and look cool, when really more people hate neons then like them.

So just wondering if anybody seems to have the problem around there area where you live such as around where I live?

Agreed.
It's always the same badass 16 year old kids driving there "pimp" neon's around like there some sort of performance tuner car. ie: neon lights, carbon hood, chrome spinning rims, and the coffee can muffler.
Nothing against neon owners, but it make's no sense to throw five to ten thousand at a two thousand dollar car..

Good call Sen Sen, the old neons are really ugly and cheap. i do however like the new neon SRT-4. it has 230hp stock and a turbo, it looks alot better than the old ones.

yeah, there fast in a stright line but the handling is terrible. I took a spin in one recently and was (as expected) disappointed... there was no control in turns.
good call from the makers though...the turbo will just help sell more of them....sadly...

I've driven a dodge neon for 4 years. I've gone thru 2 of them. They are shitty cars and i laugh people who trick them out.

[G-man422]

Well said Nate.

Actually the 1st generation Neon engines take very well to being turbo-charged. The ACR version happens to handle VERY well. Also, the SRT-4 does not handle like shit. Perhaps you just don't know how to drive or you're just making stuff up.

The fact of the matter is that every econo-box has fallen victom to some stupid jackass owning it and wasting money on worthless mods not just the Neon.

Can't we just call them ricers and be done with it?

Fine by me.

I don't doubt his claim - with a big majority of the weight over the front wheels and a turbo to kick in and burn the wheels up on corner exit, the SRT-4 is not an easy car to take turns with. But with an experienced driver, it's one of the best handling cars for the money, period. It'll outrun a WRX and Mustang GT even (although that's in large part due to its excellent stock tires).

and with the neon underglo, 5' muffler tip, and paint job with purple flames you'll beat any ///M3 on the road....sorry kman I know wut ur saying is true but I wanted to add some bs to it

They are as polygon said good tuner cars, if only people would stop tuning the appearance and tune it for speed they would get more respect...

[G-man422]

Mason has a good point. If they would stop throwin on crap like plastic spinners, and stickers, and gave'em a turbo or sumthin they wouldnt get dogged on so much. But they're still pretty ugly.

i agree with both sen sen and G-man422, the new neon srt-4, is a very good car, with having 230 HP stock as gman said, the neon also coming with a stage 1,2,or 3 turbo kit, this makes this car very incredible, this car is so cool, dodge actually made this car an option for being legal or illegal, legal is stage 1 and 2 turbos, and the available stage 3 turbo, is not street legal, thus for kicking out 370 ponies!

(i heard this from some dodge neon srt-4 owners and then i went to dodgeforum.com and looked at neon srt-4 owners and they said that mopar racing got 370 from it, so thats what i heard so dont go gettin mad at me bout it)

[Sen Sen]

yeah, but that much power going to 2 wheels, especially the front ones as well, there's gonna be mad torque steer

I think the older neons were voted "Ugliest Car" in several mags...the 95 shape.
