Mine was mostly stock, yet you would have never beat me because I would never have raced you. I never raced on the street and did not get a chance to go to the track.

I agree there are a LOT of people that own SRT-4's and think they have some sort of gold mine. I thought I had a Neon with a turbo. That's it. I enjoyed it, but now I go back to what I enjoy even more, a Ram.

I hope you didn't take it the wrong way. I am not hating on Neons, but a Neon is an inexpensive car. The SRT-4 was 21k$ new. I bought mine used for under 14K$. Not bad for a 13 second car.

If you want a fast car for cheap the Neon is the way to go.

I kept mine stock because I have a 1971 Dart I am going to dump money into. A part of me was even thinking about mating a 6 speed manual to a 2.4 turbo. A BIG turbo, i.e. GT35R/GT40. It would be different than a standard small block V-8 and the parts for the 2.4L are pretty cheap.

yeah, i like the just a neon thing... it is fun to mess with people accually..... my favorate line is hey man "it is just a neon" till i open the hood.....

over memorial day my family was pickin on my car accually, (mostly becuase i do not have a trunk or bumper... when i left my cousin asked my dad, "why a neon?" and he told my cousin, it is all motor... first thing that happened when i cam back to the house the next day was he was over lets see under the hood.... all i said was it is just a neon... nothing more, nothing less....

he said that is not what ur dad says.... i opened the hood and he said holy ****....

now since i probably won't be able to find that mattdog adapter plate, i need to get a log style t3t4 manifold? thats the exhaust manifold, right?...

and, another question about turbos, how do you set how much psi you're pushing out?
