I've never raced a neon but are they faster than a 6gc? Everyone keeps trying to tell me they are, I'm not talking about the turbo'd one. Just a plain old neon.

they have the same motor as the non-turbo talon. they can move, but i'd say in that race, it'd be all about the drivers.

lol I never knew the eclipse/talon shared the neon 2.0l dohc. and to answer your question. yes our st's will more than likely lose to any neon, but we might have a chance against the sohc models

I know the srt4 is, I'm talking about a plain old neon. Even if it is faster, my car looks a million times better than any neon. |

I seriously doubt it. I used to have a 3.1 Beretta and it was pretty damn fast. It was faster than Grand Prix's at the time. In fact, some Grand Prix's had the same engine, or at least the same size engine. I smoked my friend's early 90's Grand Prix once in my 90 Beretta and I had a carload of people. Look up the stats on that engine: 140 hp, 185 lb/ft of torque! That thing sure would haul ass, but it was junk. |
