ImUrOBGYN Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I remember reading this article sometime back. You think the owner thought that's how they'd make it a 14sec car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah that is a old repost, but still a funny story. Reminds me of the one with the 1st gen Dodge Neon rental that they added good amount of nitrous took it to the drag stip, almost blew up the engine and then un-installed everything and returned to the rental car company. I will have to dig up that story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodRed Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah you should, I haven't seen it but now, I want to. Here you go: http://www.ag.auburn.edu/users/gparmer/articles/neon/ The 2.0 (132hp) Automatic Neon went from a 1/4 time of 16.90 @ 81MPH to a 13.82 @ 102MPH with a 150 shot.

zeitgeist57 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I think the original article ran in Sport Compact Car back in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodRed Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 As far as I know, nothing was ever said when they returned the car. This happened in the late 90's, so the story has been around for a while. The photos from the story are out of an old Mopar magazine they don't publish anymore.

Patrick Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Honda Tuning did that with a rental Accord with a 150 shot just recently also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
