Yeah... I have a story... I thought this neon was the slowest thing on earth, even putting the pedal to the metal. But one day I was on the road with my dad and I was thinking to myself "This can't be all it can do, maybe the pedal is jammed" So I put all my might into the pedal... And sure enough, that thing went CRAZY... It made me jump the tach went up so fast. xD Was quite funny, though my dad kind of got mad. :P

yeah had another victory today

well you all might remember me talking about my friend exterior modified Dodge Neon DOHC Automatic

well today i was driveing out of town and he pulls up behind me therefore i slowed down so he would get in the other lane but then he got a red light so i pulled into a parking lot and got ready to go so i got back into the highway before he passed by and we line up.. and i kinda speed up to say go and then i let off so i heard his car kick into gear so i dropped it into second and mashed on it that neon had no chance i beat him buy so much it wasnt even funny so then i slowed down thinking that maybe he didnt get a good start so i did it again and just smashed his neon so there is goes to proove stock DOHC ATX Neon is slow but i beat him by so much ive never even beat any other car by so much before it was a good 7-10 car lengths that i was ahead.

well thought i would share

oh and the other night i was trying to get a MAZDA 6 to race me but all he would do was speed up as if he was gonna race but when i drove by him he caught up to me as if he wanted to race and we were stopped at a red light but there was a high patrol sitting in the MCdonalds Parking lot.. but i wish i wouod have know he wasnt in it cuz i would have deffinantly race cuz i never get a race off the line

well theres my story for my 1st gen

I literally owned the hell out of a 98 Monte Carlo with nice sounding exhaust. Where at the lights and he rev's it up and since I'm not confident in my low end power just yet I act like I don't wanna race but Ido a half throttle launchand hetook of very fast cuz he burnt out so we're going about 25-30mphand he gets on it and I decide to go for it...it was close untilI kicked it down but after 4500 Rpm my SOHC took over and took him to the cleaners thenafter that hewould only try to race when I had people in front of me knowing my car takes off like a rocket when given a little room. Long story short we went on the high way and he tried to then pass me and beat me in top speed but I was up to 100mph pretty fast cuz I kept my automatic in 2nd gear till 95mph which is about 5600 Rpm andhe kinda gave up on trying to pass after he saw what a bitch it was.

I kissed my car good night after that Race..I was so proud of the underrated SOHC and the unassuming looks of the Neon
