Question Neon SRT or S2000

Which do you think would win in the 1/4 mile?

Dodge Neon SRT- 215hp Turbocharged

Honda S2000- 2.4 liter 240hp engine

I would put my money on the S2000 but I think it would be a good race?

The S2000 is 2.0 litres first of all- and of course it would paste the Neon in the 1/4- it's lighter, more powerful and RWD

Hmm...S2k weighes around 2800 lbs and so does the Neon...maybe 100 lbs more...but the SRT-4 has torque...245 lbs of it...while the S2k has only 160 or so?

Hmm

But yea...I'd take the S2k...instead...Neon is still a Neon...no matter how you paint it

maybe that two cars might have the same time for 1/4 mile but for overall I choose S 2000 .. the style, reability, handling, and awesome non blower engine ..

I would choose the S 2000, 9000 rpm redline would be very advantageous, cause the S 2000 wouldnt get its doors blown off from the start, it would be close, the neon would have to shift first, and while the neon was doing that, the S 2000 would just get up and go, be long gone, cause than the S 2000 would be in its powerband the rest of the race, and no way the neon would catch up.

The SRT-4 would be my pick. Costs much less and I prefer the looks of the SRT-4 over the S2000. Also, what wins drag races is torque and the S2000 has a shitty amount of it. Also you have to be damn good to get a good launch with the S2000. The Neon's powerband is all over the tach, not after a specific point like the S2000. Also the SRT-4 has 232HP and 250 ft/lbs of torque to the wheels. The S2000 has 240HP and 160 ft/lbs of torque to the flywheel. They both weigh about 2800 pounds. It all comes down to the driver with these two cars.

I would have to pick the SRT-4.

for the honda to beat the srt4, it would have to thrash its clutch through every gear and make the shifts stick

i think it would all come down to the driver of the s2k

I think the torque on that Neon will eat up the S2000 for the 1/4. Top end I'd go with the S but for the short track that Neon would be tough to beat. With that said, I'd much rather own the S2000 then any Neon.

Hey that's not fair, that's an $80,000 car, with a bigger engine, and only two seats, there's not even a backseat to make out in! I was naturally talking as a comparable car, surrender to the power of Dodge!

With equal drivers and equal thrashing of both cars, I say the SRT-4 Neon wins. And incase anyone doesn't know already, them SRT-4's come VERY VERY underated. It'll just take a while for their weird ass looks to seem normal...

Actually I'm right because that is not a Honda, I'm from the good ol' US of A and here we call those Acuras. So in conclusion I have to admit I was right
