neon gets beat
at a red light a newer neon R/T lines up with me. the dude throws some revs and I look over. I ask him, you dont think so really do you, and he replies, hell yeah.
so I rev a bit to tell him its a go and on green we gun it and I start pulling on him. cliffnotes: silly neon racer |

Neons (with the exception of the amazing srt4) are pretty slow. Anyone can beat or at least keep up with them. Love the details though.

Re: neon gets beat
Well I think I'm now fully capable of repairing anything on a Dodge Neon thanks to your riveting account of the race and precise description of every last detail about the car. Thanks!!!

Re: neon gets beat
Neons are different cars. Sometimes, they'll embarass you. Other times, you'll walk on them like the economy car they are. In part, it's because they're a Dodge product, which means they'll have good days and bad days with no reason why. 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.

And they also suffer from a problem called “they just suck”. Many economy cars also suffer from this.
