I agree, when did a 13-second 1/4 mile time become lame??? http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...n_confused.gif Jimmy www.firebirdgallery.com 2002 WS6 M6 Trans Am 1970 RAIII Trans Am 1969 GTO "If you own a Firebird, I'm interested in putting it on my site!!!" |
I will be taking mine to the track once Maple Grove opens. I'm confident I can get the car into the low 13's.
It's funny my 72 Lemans turned a best of 13.3@103 and everybody was given me kudo's on the times. The new GTO 6speed was tested by MT at 13.6@104 and everyone says it's a lame time. It's still the fastest STOCK, I said STOCK GTO to date. And your right, When did 13's slips become lame? http://forums.performanceyears.com/g...on_biggrin.gif "Everyone is entitled to be stupid sometimes, but you're abusing that privilege" |
13's is not all that fast imo, But to do it in somthing that has every thing these new cars have on em and still have warentes(sp?) is awsum. I took my 5000# truck to the track sat and with very bad traction it went 13.67 @ 103mph Like I said not super fast but Not a hole lot can hang with those times.
Nick any plans for mods? Don some times when you race with squirrels you get your nuts cracked! |

Greatest Of All Time |
the neon is around $20k evo 8 is right with the gto ( maybe a few thousand more ) and im not sure about the sti.
Greatest Of All Time |
next year if they come out with the 400 and make it look better and faster id drive that. but not the 04. no way im gonna brag on the 04 when it will lose ( assume the gto does 13.5 thats a fair estimation according to the mag results ranging from 13.6ish-14ish ) the evo 8 will do 13.4 and the sti is supposed to do 13.2 the neon is supposed to be around 13.6 as well but with 4 less cylinders and wrong wheel drive. does anyone else see a problem ? hello 4 more cylinders. the new gto shoudl beat the s*** out of these imports

I plan on installing a vortech supercharger sometime next year on the car.

Don't go by magazine times. There bogus most of the time, magazine racing is out. I go to drags all the time, including those great test and tune nights when the lanes are filled with imports. I've have YET to see any Neon go better than 14.5 last year. There was a blue WRX STi at Cecil county last that was running a 13.6-7 So.... But you know, I don't care. I didn't buy this car to be a street racer, and I certainly didn't buy it for anyone on this board. I bought for me. You know....."Everyone is entitled to be stupid sometimes, but you're abusing that privilege" |
I've never seen a all stock front wheel drive ***** box neon run 13.6's. 14.0s to 14.2s are the norm and with some drag radials run high 13. Neon are large bags of *****, a throw away car after 50,000 miles.
