Cliffs Notes: 0-60 in 6.0, 1/4 mile 14.9 @ 99.

hrumph...

ITR Content: The other thread.

 

I recall seeing a time slip from a supposedly stock SRT-4 of a 14.1 @ 99mph.

 

i saw 0-60 in the high 5's in another rag. they also had the 1/4 at a low 14.
grain of salt.

 

It's all gonna be in the driver...

Because the only way that car is gonna get a good E.T. is by one hell of a careful launch...

So, I guess what I"m saying is that you don't have to worry about the Stunna boys in them... cause they won't know how to launch!

 

only thing stopping me is the mentality that boost + dodge = boom

its probably a myth and its probably a decent car, its just that i have not been impressed by the build quality of dodge, not even the interior

i've driven a dodge neon (2003) and the interior made me feel that i just walked out of a plastic coating factory.

i also have driven a dodge neon, and i agree 100%. BUT, for under 20 grand you cant do much better. i mean look at what they give you in terms of performance. But also i worry about the reliablity factor of boost + dodge. i am thinking about forgetting about getting a cheap beater and just financing a new srt-4.

 

I raced one last night at the drags he was hitting 14.3's and he hit 100 a couple of times in arizona thats a quick time.

 

The dyno numbers are pretty good. Not from a magazine!

Don't forget it all started here meng..........
oh yeah was'nt the dodge neon the offical scca car to use back in the day ?

I've driven a neon 5sp in 98, and was pretty imprerssed on how in handled turnes with a great balance of f/r weight transfer. Even though the car looks like chit and interior is chit i gotta give it props for it's road manners.


a reminder on how early dodge was in the whole sport compact market..BAM!

Nice - Omni G.L.H. (Goes Like Hell)

 

....we shall see.....

 

well also remember they have a turbo dodge van back in the late 80's early 90's and also you guys gotta remember than some dude a few years ago put a manual and was hitting 11's in a dodge van
LOL

 

DUDEs im gettin a little obsessed with thins thread but this car is cool .
I'd lease one and take it on a road course or auto x the crap out of it.


Peep this video .( 56k beware )

even so...for a turbo charged 2.4 liter, low 14's is dead slow. Evos are 2.0L and do a hell of a lot better..same for WRX

 

If I bought a neon, I'd have to swap the driver seat ASAP. The fuggin thing is too high for the windshield, I was starring at the fuggen sun visor the whole weekend I was driving it last summer. And I'm not tall, they went a little crazy with the stupid cab forward design

 

I don't drive anything but Honda.

It's a Dodge =

 

i don't even want to know what the build quality is like. Vipers are built like complete ***. Like someone just threw them together. and that is the expensive dodge, so I'd hate to see what problems arise with the cheap dodge

 

The best 1/4 mi. time i recall seeing for a stock WRX was low 14's as well. Evo's arent much more than high 13's or so stock.

But remember...all these times are STOCK! As anyone knows, turbo cars respond amazingly well to simple mods and will drop those times considerably. Take my car for example...4-door turbo 2 liter like the WRX and EVO....stock 1/4 is only about a mid 15 at best....Ive got less than $1,000 into go-fast mods and its already 13's.

Besides acceleration is only one side of the story...i think the neon would make a badass little autox car.

 

duude.. i don't give how fast that car is ... it looks like a butt..
i'd never drive that car no matter what. it's fuggin ugly.

 

From what i've read there isn't much room for improvement. The engine is pretty tapped out as far as being able to handle more power.

 

We'll see them run this weekend in Fontana.

-skafia who is skeered.

 

werd who gives a fuq bout the SRT-4? my neighbor has one and i park my caged R right next to it everyday just to egg him on.

:edit: cause my spelling sucks a fat one just like the SRT-4

Yea sure....do some research before posting what you don't know.

Dodge has 3 warrantied upgrade levels. Stage 3 is 300hp, 300ft-lbs.

 

and you are looking at an additional 10k on top minimum.

 

Dude chill

Are those packages on the same base engine?
