That is the cost for parts...hard to say what labor would be but I would imagine at least $500. As for how much time you'll pick up, generally an ATX 2nd Gen runs around 16.7-17.0 in the 1/4 while and an MTX gets 16.3-16.6 or so...and an R/T is around 15.8-16.0.

Oh; I forgot about a lightly modded Focus. I had minor bolt ons and I ate him up.

Spanked a Z3 badly last night he was racing a Saturn and I jumped in. When I did he left because he probaly saw my rear end and thought I was a SRT. Well blew past the Z3 and let him catch up and he couldn't hang with me through traffic.

Completely absolutely stock I ran mine to a 16.3. I'm sure I could have done better before i added some things....but I couldn't wait. With basically i/e my fastest run has been a 16 flat. Over the couple years I have had the neon I have gotten better driving it. I was never bad at it, but I'm a lot better drag racing then I was before. I have no doubt that I could keep pace with an R/T. If I make it to the track this summer I would expect to see about a 15.8-15.9.

When I was typing that i thought to myself, "I know LowSlowNeon will post his awesome times"...lol you are indeed in a very small minority with that time.

i hav a friend who did 16.9 at 1/4 mile .. and another that says that he did 17.7 1/4 mile..
i think thats a big difference in time,.,( both atx )

i guess ill hav to take it to the track myself and see what my babe can do..! but i seriously believe there is no possible 17.7 that the avg time of scion Xb ( mtx ) and i kick the **** out of them!

yeah, because racing at a track, is TOTALLY different than the street.......or at least i think so, i can time a light around town, but i am not that good at a tree yet..... the best bet is to take it to the track and find out what u will run in it, becaseu times change alot depending on the driver.....
