is the neon r/t a good street racing car cuz i have a regular neon and its quick and by the way its a 5 speed, so is the r/t quicker?

 

?????im sure anything can be a good "street racing car" as long as it has enough work to the engine. What do you mean by "regular" neon? the r/t is basically a dohc 5 speed (cand remember what ratio) with stiffer suspension. mine is a dohc auto highline and stock for stock from a roll i can keep up with a r/t no problem, but ive heard 5 speeds are about 1-1.5 seec faster off the line.

 

i have a 96 dodge neon plymouth 5 speed and its quick as hell, i just thought the r/t was a little quicker and faster!

 

if yours is a dohc motor and 5 speed an r/t really wont be too much faster.

 

we dont promote street racing or street racing cars on TR.... if i was the mod of this ide lock it up....

 

any neon that is NA is going to be slow imo ... i think affter turboing my car it will still be slow...

 

a "neon street racing car" ???????????

 

umm, do you call low 16 second, high 15s a fast car? they really arent much quicker than the base SOHC 5 speed neon...the reason is they are based on the neon highline and are heavy for a 1st gen, generally weigh around 2500lbs, with a 2.4L it will be a high 14 second car....with a turbo 2.4...depends on the setup....not real quick, no, but with the same engine setup as an SRT4 I would say they would be a high 13 second car, so my thoughts...slow stock...decently quick if heavily modified

 

DSMs with 420a are heavier than 1g neons....considerably but your point is right on the money.

 

even after adding a turbo to my 2.0 dohc im not expecting more than 200 hp at low psi. but numbers like josiah said are pretty approximate to what to expect
