98fiveseven1647545503 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 As for my answer. I got my wrx out the door for 15 flat. The neon as a DD is not a bad choice though. And a grand in parts was 65HP @wheel 15 flat quarter mile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98fiveseven1647545503 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I think id rather stay where i am right now and not go up against anybody in a roll. I didn't/don't want to be the master noob. Yes, 2 of them did. shut up please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 15 flat quarter mile? I see you know little about the wrx's .. Cost vs a S4. My statement still stands that a 2.0 NA neon motor is not a good starting platform. Thats it plain simple no more to it. As for the 15 I was talking my price vs the price of a s4.

intriguing_olds Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hey guys, my name is Austin but i go by Peppy. i've heard about this site from the other forums that i'm on so i finally decided to join. I am 17 right now and i drive a '95 Plymouth Neon Highline w/ 246,000 miles on it. but my new toy is a '97 Dodge Neon coupe that i have a lot of plans for. http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/YIKESNEON/My%20Baby/563699-R1-01-23_002.jpg thats my current beast. and heres my new one that i'll be driving within the next month (needs a head gasket) http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c150/YIKESNEON/New%20Baby/IMG_1804.jpg nice cars...

Jelloman4571647545499 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 My statement still stands that a 2.0 NA neon motor is not a good starting platform. Thats it plain simple no more to it. yeah so your wrong again! i paid 400 for a roller and had close to 5k in the engine bay and 1k in misc parts. had a slight problem with the oiling system and a guy offered me money for my engine so i sold it to him. thats close to 6500 in a complete car that would be a damn good roll car and an all right dig car. Now that engine (2.0 NA block) makes close to 550 at the crank on a good tune mild boost setup. the engines are fine depending on the what you put into them mod wise Hell the world record for a long time for a NA 4 cylinder was held by a neon with a 2.0 engine in it. it ran low 10.1x. Maybe, just maybe, you should not talk about a engine when you know nothing about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neoncrazy101 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 thanks guys and the guys at Modern Performance actually have a 9 second Neon. but anyways, before we get too in depth here lol. the Neons 2.0L is NOT the same as the DSM's. two different motors, two different manufacturers.

mseebs Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I know I'm a newb and therefore worthless. But something I always went by, it's more fun to make a slow car fast then to just buy a fast car. You see a trans am, you know it hauls ass. Cause that's its job. You see a old little red neon, you don't think as much. Sleeper ftw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorne Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 When I was with the Civic crowd I was surrounded by people with slow cars who lived by that motto.. like it justified throwing thousand-dollar/10 horsepower mods on their cars. I got sick of that shit real quick. Joe said it best - buy a fast car and make faster. Anything less would be uncivilized. ^True^. I learned that one the hard way, And keep relizing I need more power . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 You have lost your mind He hasn't lost it. He never had it. The original retard with a POS V6 mustang. Typical ricer attitude ..thinking he has a chance against anything other than a civic.....well a beat on..old civic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
