highway battle to what 100mph

just call it a street race its what it is

 

are u talking about a neon??? because i used to murder R/T's with bolt ons and slicks?! and my VR6 had intake and exhaust... maybe its tru i just find that hard to believe..

 

i redline at 8100. would it be funny then? ha jp

 

8100 you must beat anything on the road!

 

whats fast for an r/t? high 14's?

 

Depends on what you have done, as always. But on a more serious note, I found, atleast through my experiences that the Neon engines are very tempermental. Its like it has a mind of its own. It can run strong all day long and when you race someone, it feels like it is not working for you. At the same time, it can be reserved all day long and when you jump on it, the car comes alive. For instance, I can't pull a good time at the track for my life. Consistant 16.5' all day long. Now, on the street, I can hang w/ a low 15 second car. I don't know wether its me holding back or the car (I would like to think its the car), but it just doesn't run strong at the track.
Personally, I would like to run a low 14 all motor before a shot but I'll probably spray it anyways in the mean time.

 

most people with r/t's just spray, right? honestly, i've seen like two or three of the older ones in my entire life and they were all riced out. do the motors have a poor r/s ratio? i've heard that the motors aren't that reliable and for the most part its better to leave the internals alone. again, this is just what i've heard but i'm wondering what you could do to make a car like this faster without sacrificing reliability.

just some thoughts...

 

If the Neon you saw as Blue w/ exhause and has silver wheels, that car is definitly one of the quickest Neons in the area in my opinion. It is a single cam, thats right, an SOHC motor w/ some nice work done to it but I will tell you this, it is all motor. He is definitly a car I wouldn't want to race right now w/ my current performance in mind.
