i was just wondering whos the fastest neon on here... and whats the 1/4 mile time and speed... and and if u want list your upgrades, mods, and such and such...
my friend herb has a 98 acr runnin 15.2s which kinda sux and my other friend jesse is runnin 14.5s which is kool... then we had this guy with a 97 r/t called "gone Bananas" cuz its yellow... crazy huh, well that was runnin low 13s naturally aspirated but i think he messed with his compresion not to sure... any ways i just wanted to know how are club stands... please respond...

stock 98 r/t 2 door currently being blue printed... or underconstruction as others would say.

 

thats a scary question to ask, It's kinda like the fishing story, (i caught a fish this big) my car i have no idea, whatever it runs, its not fast enough

 

I have to agree with TJ.

And I dunno how fast mine is either, I just know it needs togo faster.

 

I'm just waiting for the "my 96 sohc atx goes 180, and runs the 1/4 in 11 flat w/out the spray! give it time someone will say that

but since u asked how fast is yours, honestly

 

Im lucky if my 97' SOHC Atx gets going 60mph in 15 seconds. lol. Thats why im buying an underdrive pulley and CAI.

 

Well...
My 98 R/T is made for the road course, but it has a best time of a high 13 on street tire.
But the street tires are Yokohama Advan 032R, so on a real street tire more like a low 14 all motor.

With a good driver any SRT-4 can beat that in the quarter.

 

Uh-huh.

 

and a metro runs 14's, come on rt, back it up, lets see some slips.

 

Well, MSN Auto's show's the Dodge SRT-4 (230hp) running a 14.48 in the 1/4 mile. Sound's about right to me. So if any of you are pulling a 14, then wow. I bet that the MSN thing is accurate too, but maybe I'm just too confident in them. Dunno what my neon would run, but I'm feeling about a 17. It's only pumpin out about 140 horses max. It's funny living in a small town as I do, my car is considered fast here, as to in a larger place it's gma's van.

 

Hey there is a Metro in Seattle that runs 10s, or was that a Swift...

Anyway, it was made for the salt flat contests, and had a top speed of around 150 mph. It was in Sport Compact Car a few months ago.

A low 14s on street tires in a first gen. is nothing special. Just check out some of the times on www.neons.org
It's not uncommon to see low 13 runs on 1st gens all motor. And don't even get me started on a 1st gen with the 2.4 swap. Last year I saw one of thoughs run with only I/H/E, and pulled a high 13.
There is a big difference between the 2dr. DOHC 1st gens. and the 4dr. SOHC 3rd gens. 1st gen weigh less and had more power out of the DOHC of the newer Neons, excluding the SRT-4. Not only that, but a stock MTX 2dr. R/T does a 15.4-15.8 stock depending on driver.

As far as a slip goes, they're not something I hold on to for a long time. I won't have another one until next race season starts. Here in Oregon, that will be around late March early April depending on the weather. But it will be pointless by that time any way since I'm going 2.4 in a month. However, I will posting pictures of the swap if any are interested.
