I read the stats on his car, thanks. He put a lot of work into it. His time would have been better spent though working a second job at the in-and-out burger to save for a C5, than build something that might explode into a million pieces trying to beat one. I'm aware he isn't running nitrous...by the sounds of it though, it could be A1 sauce....or a shot of steamy methane...better check the stickers under the hood.
I can say that that it would be fairly unbelievable, based on prerecorded stats by car testing eggheads on all sorts of vehicles of all sizes, weights and motor sizes, that a 3 L in his car, would flat out run a 3.1 L stroker motor in a z, with a 4:11 posi rear, that weighs about as much as a 1991 civic, give or take the duct tape....regardless of what 1/4 mile or 0-60 times are recorded in his sticker album.
I agree, the neons are quick...I give it to chrysler to bring back the sleeper, reminds me of the days of the omni GLH. it's still not a car for me, I am a big fan of styling, to me the neon looks like a skittle with some IKEA furniture stapped to the trunk.
