Thread: caught a unsuspected 5.0(11) owner off guard with the neon

    caught a unsuspected 5.0(11) owner off guard with the neon

    had my cousin out for a ride in my srt. started up the ramp onto the highway and look in the rearview and saw a black 5.0 coming up fast. i didnt want to hit the gas right then and potentially scare him off. i stayed in the right lane and drove the speed limit and the first straitaway we came to he comes out beside me and i see him drop a few gears and come flying up pasted me. i dropped to 3rd and waited for traction and we were off to the races lol, hit 4 and pulled car after car lenghts on him, i let out and drove the speed limit again. i gave him the thumbs up and then he finally came up pasted me and gave me the thumbs up too. it is a fun little sleeper!

    Thanks, but it takes a big drag radial to get traction like that on the srt.

    They do lose, but you'll never hear about it. It's like a tree falling in the woods.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Nice kill! I bet you freight trained him bad- that is a serious trap speed you have on the SRT4.

    I do the same in the Slobalt on the highway, but even my trap isn't as high as yours in the neon. Having a little 4 banger eco car that is decently quick and surprises some people is a fun thing.

    I usually have a harder time at the strip, though. FWD + open diff sucks, even with slicks.

    Sorry, I just like to compare apples and apples.

    Turbos are like jet engines with pistons that get in the way!

    Put that same setup on the 5.0 then we'll see

    a car is a car is a car..... just because his car is orange doesn't mean he's not an apple

    If i had a stock T/A, and got beat by a Terminator, then cried about how "if i had a supercharger though, i'd blow you away", you'd be crying up a storm about it ... "what if" this "what if" that.....

    and don't tell me you don't know what i mean... even on this site back in the day, there were the "well Ford is cheating.. if i had a supercharger on my car" threads....

    its a car vs. car matchup.. it just so happens that the SRT-4 was superior in this instance...




    and before its thought - no, actually i don't like SRT-4's, and yes, i do like the new 5.0's (several memebers on here could attest to hearing me say that in person).... but making excuses for the Mustang is just stupid....

    Thanks yea it did suprise him on the blow by, but that's why I like my little neon. Always under rated. Everyone's willing to race a neon too.

    Lmao. I have both and I love them both just figured I put it out there that these little cars get picked on all the time. My little neon likes to pick back when it gets a chance lol. It can't win em all but it wins a lot of street races.
