auxilary Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 http://www.neons.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=121823 see how many people would take a neon over a z06 corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280Zen Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 i would take the Z06, so i could sell it to buy Chlorine and dump into the Neons.org Gene pool. ROTFLMAO Oh now thats funny and by far the best reply yet. Umm, I wonder if he will accept donations! I've got a few extra gallons of Chlorine around here somewhere!

CruxGNZ Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I would take a Z06 over any Neon that ever has or ever will exist. Anyone interested in performance would be stupid not to. That from a Neon owner, on a Neon board . Hey Aux, what do you have done to your Neon? !M! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 actually, I know the guy mookie. He's like me in sense that he got fed up with neons.org ricer mentality. as far as my neon, it's a 99 r/t with a 2 liter dohc motor. mods are solidified motor mounts (vibrates like magic fingers), intake,ecu, mopar header, underdrive pulley, hawk performance autox pads for brakes, 22mm adjustable rear sway bar. I ran 15.6@89mph with intake and ECU only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I work at a chrystler dealership and we just had a service meeting, which entales watching a movie about updates on new vehicles... The new SRT-4 Neon is rated at 245ft-lbs of torque and like 220 HP. I cant remember if those are exact but I know they are both above 200HP @ the flywheel. Not too bad for a little Neon! I still wouldnt buy one but thats just me. Im hooked on V-8's Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auxilary Posted August 20, 2003 Author Share Posted August 20, 2003 actually, those srt-4s dyno 220 at the wheels. they're severely underrated, and with a competent driver can break out of 14s in stock form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive for sure, but a Z06 is certainly is not!! And these are the leaders of the future....where is Darwin!! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I dont know where your getting your info from Auxilury but I got mine from Chrystler/Dodge/Mopar and I know there have been instances when there have been underated numbers but they actually just upped the HP#'s and TQ#'s this last month. If they were 220@ the wheels that would me that that little 4 banger is putting out about 260HP @ the crank(15% drivetrain loss). I just dont see 260HP out of that Neon.

thefastestz Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 There is an example of why I am glad the moderators here are controlling the quality of this wonderful site. Choosing between a neon and a Z06 corvette? who the H-E-double hockey sticks interested in performance is going to even ponder that question!!!! I would hate to have stuff like that going on here. Thank you moderators for watching out for this site and keeping it resourceful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy The reason hp and torque #s were upped is because Dodge is now shipping the '04 srt4 with stage 1 kit' date=' which is injectors and reprogrammed ECU Given that there are guys running 14.0 1/4 mile times in stock form, I'd venture a guess that that's about hte power needed to move a 2700lbs sedan that fast. What's difficult to believe? In 92 dodge made a limited production run of the Spirit R/T, a little boxy pos sedan that C&D clocked at 14.5 in hte 1/4. It had a 2.2 liter turbo that made 220hp and 217 tq. Oh, and there's always dyno charts [img']http://www.atpturbo.com/turbopiping/monstermate/images/neonsrt/StockNeoDyno.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auxilary Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 here's another one I found, 9hp less, but same torque. this dyno was done at 98*F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaime240z Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I like the guy who said "neons have something for everyone .....blabla....sorta sporty looks" I think a Z06 is a WHOLE lot more than "sorta sporty"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Ok Auxilary you win! LOL They still dont have enough HP potential for me to even think about buying. Its kinda like the L28, there is only so much that it can take and its not enough! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigWhyteDude Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 hey guy hows your car running? Have you gottne all of the grimlins run out yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Yeah for the most part all the "gremlins" are worked out. I still have to fix my header once and for all! But atleast I know what is wrong there! I plan on taking it off this week and and welding it up so that there is no possible places for it to leak. It wont be pretty but it will be finally fixed.

tannji Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 It seemed to me that the owner of this thread was commenting on so many people choosing the neon over the Z06... the vote over there is currently 71 for the Z06 to 28 for the Neon. That is still a lot for the neon.... but hey... They are ricers... at least they are consistent... = ) tannji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
