The AFX Race computers offer the best performance. They're expensive though. I have the AFX R pcm and it still goes pretty slow around 115ish with my mods. I've hit 120ish a few times but I didn't want to go any faster b/c it would have taken too long to see my top speed. I wouldn't want to get caught at that speed.

What part in the suspension would possibly give out? I know the RTs say they go around 140 and their suspension is very close to the regular Neons. As far as the suspension goes, the only thing I thought would be different with the RT vs Reg Neon would be springs and struts.

i think if you need to ask what can break in your suspension you prob shouldnt be going that fast... I dont go over 120 often and i have spings, struts, all new suspension bushings, aftermarket wheels, and had tires rated well over 130..... you know y because its not needed, if you wanta run the 1/4 thats cool but your not ever gona break 120 in a daily driver neon...

vettes are over rated..... wow a guy can sign for 50,000 in debt and think hes billy bad *** driving it completely stock for the whole time he owns it.... cars that impress me arecars that are way under ratedthat will own a vette because somebody actually got dirty and put some work into it.... besides, 90% of vette owners take the car to the dealer for a frickin oil change cause they're scared to getdirty[:'(]

I know the RTs say they go around 140
the r/t's do 130mph
when my red one was up and running i would hit the limiter almost every morning on my way home from work
even with a 130mph limiter on it, the car was good at outrunning cops
