Default Weekend Racer ?

My ? is what kinds of times can I get out of my 2000 automatic neon. I do not want a turbo just all motor i've found alot of stuff for it and for thetrans, but before I start putting money in it I just wanted to what some of you run in the 1/4 mile and or stop light to stop light.

1/4 mile with a 3-spd auto 2.0 N/A, I would say the best you will see without any heavy modding would be 17 seconds or so... maybe high 16's if you are REALLY lucky and have a few easy mods

mat dtj is also boosted. I think non turbo high 15's to mid 16's is my guess. Haven't taken mine to the track though

I would think it would do better then that with a good amount of mods but I've always had civic's and the only neon I've ever raced was a buddys SRT-4.

What about a heavy modded motor and NOS any ideas.

And thanks for the comments.

Best I ever pulled off was a 15.880 at the track, on adumped 4000 RPM launch, w/light mods, lighter wheels than I have now, and only 30k on the car... cant recall my 60-foot time, but I know that was the saving grace behind the time.
