So I'm sitting behind this 1995 +/- prelude with a fart can @ 768 turning onto Coshocton Rd in mt vernon (mod to my saturn - intake is a K&N filter bolted right onto the intake plenum @ the throttle body. We're both turning left, he takes the inside lane, I take the outside lane, I start creeping on him, he realizes the game and starts revving it up... I pwned him with the family car lol, the look on his face was priceless.

I had a fucking prius race me in my f-250 once. I blew his efficient little doors off but it probably cost me $5 in gas lol. I used to have an 85 300zx turbo, every kid in town with a fart can on his mom's old civic tried to race me, it was pretty sad.

Running to the drive thru with the neighbor, sitting at the light bs'n and i hear this fart can beside me rev up his shitbox. an older 89ish prelude. before i could stop laughing the light turns green, he dumps the clutch, birbbirb... stall... haha. mind you i'm in a turn lane and continue to turn looking at this guy trying to start his car shaking my head. lol

i'm sad to say i too have been in a battle of the shitty cars :( 2001 zx2 with >180,000 miles (at the time... now 199,000!!!) against a ~2000 neon.... :nono:

The ZX2 is definitely faster than a neon.

Actually, the ZX2 was a pretty fun car, IMHO. My brother still has his (i think). I drove it a lot before he had it on campus. Definitely not a powerful car, but pretty damn light.

There's a guy on another bike forum who auto-crosses his ZX2. with better rubber and stiffer springs, it does shockingly well for very little money.

I just looked it up. Ford claims 130hp and just over 2500 lbs. Just under 20 lbs. per horsepower. 0-60 in 9 seconds (felt faster than that to me!)

The 2003 neon was almost 500 lbs heavier, and only had 2 or 3 more horsepower.
