How fast in the 1/4 mile do you expect the car to be doing?
What I want is it to be in the 12's what I'll get more than likely 13.4ish I didn't go balls out with the build like I had planned so its mostly just bolt ons done to it.....Goal is 350 to the wheels so 12's should be realistic

not even sure i'm qualified to comment. i've only had two experiences in neons. both were rentals. they seem heavy and sluggish but the second one sure did make it fairly far off road. took it all the way up to wren falls where the last 20mi are mud and rocks. i'm sure with 350hp the sluggish part would be better though.

A rental car is simply a legal stolen car. :twisted:

I stay out of the gearhead thread to avoid already heated debated topics. That my car club has plenty of already. But Neon threads are great....

Every car manufacture has had their problems. Just some more than others..lol
I use to bash all Neons until I had one stay with me running a ll.4 in my gnx. So know my motto is anything can be DRIVEABLE if you stick enough money in it even a Neon :twisted: :D

I have seen a few with some sick body kits though.

Why would you stay out of that thread then? If you are a gearhead, post up in there. :)
That thread isn't political or anything. LOL

Yeah, even though many of us disagree on what cars we do and don't like I don't think it has ever gotten "heated" or nasty in there.
