^^^A stock DOHC neon can run mid-15's with a good driver, given the engine is running well.

Off the floor, it's capable of low to mid-16's.

I didn't know that Lamborgini helped build the DOHC engine.

I didn't know that Lamborgini helped build the DOHC engine.
It was in an issue of High Performance Mopar back in '93. Here is partly what it said...
What Chrysler Offers
The flipside is what Chrysler can bring to Lamborghini Engineering's staff of fewer than 70 people. It includes all the engineering manpower, ultra-modern computing, CAD/CAM, finite element analysis...
Early in the information exchange program, a small team of Chrysler cylinder head flow experts ran the Lambo F1 V12 head on the flowbench, reshaped the ports, and improved intake flow seven percent and exhaust flow 21 percent!...
This engine research for Lamborghini came back to Chrysler with a bonus: All of this flow data exchange has resulted in a radical new camshaft profile and a new cylinder head for the 1995 Chrysler 7200-rpm 2-liter engine, a head design that actually flows more air than the 3.5-liter V12 Formula 1 head and uses a very similar flat-chamber shape with narrow included angles on the valves and a narrow port approach angle...
The engine they are referring to would be the 2.0L DOHC engine [8D]
