my neon

[Rameses]

Whoa whoa whoa...

Hold on, did you say 600 hp??

[cokey]

Car looks great. I'm not a big fan of eyelids, but they look really good on your car. Makes me sad that my neon got stolen.

that really sucks.. sorry man.  Yea, there are diff style eyelids. These I liked..

600.. yes I did..  its crazy what these little motors can do.. torque will be about the same and thank s to the wheels.  Search red sled.. red neon that's in the 8s I think by now and is street legal..  there's a few guys with over 800hp in these cars..

[Rameses]

That is make the beast with two backsing RIDICULOUS!

[Goat_Herder]

That's insane!  I hope you have big brakes to go with the big HP.  Great job on the tail/spoiler lip.  Looks much better than the wing.

So, how much time and money have you spent on this Dodge Neon to date?  It looks as nice as a neon can (and it's the same exact color as my car so I like that), but I just can't shake the feeling of "why do all that to a neon?"

So, how much time and money have you spent on this Motorcycle?  It looks as nice as a Motorcycle can (and it's the same exact color as my car so I like that), but I just can't shake the feeling of "why do all that to a Motorcycle?"

^^^^^  what Mom said

[lethe]

Its not a neon, its a srt-4.  Completely different animal.

and either way, once you do that much to anything it's uniquely yours and he said it's his first car, you never get that again. 

[Speedbag]

Heehee. 

Too bad they're not AWD. I recall seeing a relatively mildly-built Eagle Talon that ran 8s. 

[lethe]

you're giving me the itch to do at least exhaust and chipping my TDI now 

[cokey]

Do it leathe.. like with ducs, why do anything?  I actually loved the way the car looked.. that's what got me.. just like the next toy cage ill get is a lotus exige,  love its looks.. the performance is just extra.. I've kind of made it into a sleeper unless you hear it, but then again, you cld its just a neon with an exhaust..  look on the guys face after you blow the doors of his 50-100k car is priceless..  I've put maybe 10-13k into it n still not done.. but. That's cause I made mistakes n shit happend.. you cld take this car and make into a high 10sec street car with just 5-7 k if u do it right..  hell there was a guy hitting 11.2s with just the next smallest upgrated turbo from factory.. his driver mod was strong.. we do it, we all do it cause we want to..

To Mother:

I don't. Sure, when I raced I had my bikes prepped for racing and I have a full termi exhaust on my Hyper, but that's about it.  However, I'm certainly not one of those people who spends 12k in upgrades on a 8k motorcycle. 

Anyhow, not trying to damper his enthusiasm.  He obviously has skills in the garage and has a car he's proud of, so good on that.  I'm just one of those people who thinks if you spend more upgrading the car than the car is worth, you probably bought the wrong car (or bike).

that car belongs on the track 

[darylbowden]

that car belongs on the track 

That I would agree with.
