Default mustang gt or my lil neon

Which should i do turbo my neon or turbo/supercharge my gt? I want to turbo the neon cuz the import scene down here is intense u are able to get more runs than been a v8 domestic. Every time im in my neon i c oppurtunitys 2 run but i dont cuz my car aint fast enough. Basically the way i c it is theirs more action been a tuner than a v8 power house. Its adifficult choice 4 me. Turbo stang sounds sweet aswell havent heard bout one yet down here.

I guess you can go with turboing the neon because there are more people into tuning around your area. if you turbo the v8, i dont think anyone will pay attention to it so i dont think it's worth but it.

but then again. the 4 cylinder SOHC neon engines aren't biult to handle the extra power from turbos unless if you build teh engine from top to bottom or get an engine swap. Which model neon do you have and what engine? i wouldn't risk turboing it if it was a SOHC. Dohc maybe though.

Please god..... keep the neon stock and drive it daily.... then mod the crap outa your GT.... make it a low 10's car and you will be very very happy ... also just a side note, if you turbo'd both the GT would be much faster than the neon so yea... keep that in mind... no replacement for displacement ya know?

trust me.. wen people find out you have a turbo stang they will come for you and want to add you to their win list. do like a sts style turbo on the stang. nice and simple and loads of power to boot

I agree ^^^^^
12 second car easily with less money.
If u turbo the neon with stock internals, you'll just barely be faster than your GT.

I agree with just about everyone else here. Turbo the GT... plenty of potential there, and thestock bottom end of the 4.6 in the GT can handleup to 700 hp stock... not sure about the trans or independant rear linkage, but you can abuse it a lot more and get away with it a lot easier than you can with one of our Neons... Besides, if you turbo the Neon, you'll be getting heat from SRT4s, Accords, Civics, S2000's, etc etc. Turbo the 'stang, and you'll have Vettes,Vipers, and Supraswanting to play... I'd rather beat a Vette or a Supra any day over a Civic.
