Kids and there neons

Nothing personal or anything for those of you who might own dodge neons, but is it just me or does every kid with a neon in every city have to try to race us honda owners? here in pittsburgh there are tons and tons of kids with neons and about half of them have challanged me at one point or another. is there ANYONE who might be able to slightly inform me why They do this??

They new SRT4 is gonna put most imports to shame with out some nice mods. I think they are sub 6 sec 0-60. Not a fan of neons myself but i wouldnt mind test driving one of the SRT's.

Why is it that when a person mentions a neon the first response is " the new SRT will spank a civic" So what. The new SRT also has a TURBO!!!! Honda doesn't make turbo charged cars so of course the new SRT will hand a Civic his ass so why are you even comparing the two??? It's like saying " The R34 Skyline GTR will kill a Civic ".......um really, I didn't know that.

nonono, my point was jus that he was saying "why would ppl try to race a neon?" an so i was jus backin the neon. i kno it snot fair to compare, but still, they shouldn't go crackin on cars that ARE as fast as civics/MOST hondas.

Yah I know Neons deserve their props but it just seems like all neon owners are like " SRT SRT SRT ". If you ain't got one then STHU. Oh and yes the SRT is a bad ass 4 banger but damn that thing is ugly. Honda may not have a turbo but it has a hell of a lot more style and sex appeal.

That's funny. But hey everyones entitled to their opinion. I feel the same way about all VW's. You find every civic after 4th gen butt ugly and you couldn't pay me to drive a VW. Strangeworld we live in huh?

I wasn't trying to put down neons as a car but the kids with the mentality that makes them want to race every honda owner alive. I personally like some of the neons and respect a couple cause they're nice appearance and performance weise, but every goober who gets mommy's neon for the night runs around revving at me and it just gets annoying after a while.

im w/ u on that one too b16...IMO vw's jus aren't too stylish (cept i do like the new GTI 1.8T's). but to all their own, i understand a lot of ppl also dont 'like the high-rev'n motors of hondas an even i have to admit its pathetic havin a ratio of 170hp/128 trq...sad world.
