[sm=gears.gif] THATS JUST SICK!!! [sm=gears.gif]

 

Yep, that video has been posted quite a few times.

Len Ayala's neon was a thing of beauty.

 

i know just wanted to show the enthusiast what kinda "power potential" the Neon has

 

im sorry this is my first car ive never had any fi expeince. all my pics were copied out of a superstreet. ps moose your mullet and get back in your z28.

 

unfortunately ppl still give us **** no matter how much we post about the potential of a neon....[&:] thats ok though, i dont ever take it to the head

 

Depends on what engine you are talking about? All DOHC neons are rated at 150HP and SOHC's are rated at 132HP. You specified a non-R/T model, yet my 99 Sport had the same engine as the R/T. To get either to 200 whp you would either go turbo or some serious engine mods, and I don't mean bolt-ons.

You'd probably need a turbo for both.

Either way, a SRT-4 would kill both [8D]

 

for one the s2000 are f20c motors they arent k20a k20 are front wheel drive motors

i also think a neon could keep up with a ss idk about the s2000 plus he said non r/t but what about acr neons they are faster then r/ts

plus i keep up with gt mustangs and vetts but mine is an r/t

 

Lets say we were using the bare bottom bonestock neon, SOHC motor 132 at the crank (rated). N/A You would need:

Intake
Extrude and Honed or New Intake manifold
Throttle Body
Headwork (P&P)
New Cam + cam gear
Longtube Header
Full Exhaust system
UDP
ECU Flash or chip
Motor Mounts


and all that would probably only bump your car to around 160-170whp-maybe 180 if you get everything adjusted.

With a turbo + previously stated mods (excluding header), you would see far beyond 220 running very very low boost. Running around 8 PSI i wouldnt doubt mid 13's or mid 12's in a quarter mile with a turbo and supporting mods. Plus first gens are pretty light and they have much better power per weight than second gens.

So, with that...
