this is a new neon. a srt-4. or something like that. i agree i tore up a rental car that was a neon. i could only pass someone going downhill. and i had to have it floored on top of that.

Now were racing magazines!! Reminds of ls1.com.

I don't how many of you reguarly go to the strip on test and tunes nights. But I can assure you not many of these new so called rockets are turning the times you say they are.

one of the faster import I saw all of last year at MG, was a really nice RX7 Turbo he ran a best of 12.8 I raced him a few times, nice guy. There was a Red Evolution Lancer which ran 13.9-14.1 all day long. The fastest import was a 1970-72? Datsun coupe with a rotary and nitrous that was running very low 11's. Every other car besides those were running from 19 to high 14's.

Mustangs.. Hell not one was in the 13's. I'm talking the new Mustangs. There was Cobra, stock running a best of 13.2 against my 13.6 at the time. It's all about the driver, or those car are overhyped.

I pay no mind to magazine times. The real test is the track.

I'm by no means saying there are no fast imports, but stock they are not what you think they are. At least not in my area.

So, in another words no, there are no real times yet

Nick, once you get some let us know. I'm very curious on what they will run - not counting magazine times.

2004 GTO A4 automatic - 13.19@105 - unfiltered cold air intake, Drag Radials.

2004 GTO A4 automatic - 13.6@103 - Stock - No mods

Only two that I found so far from real owners. 6 speed should be a little quicker. I like the 13.19 time.

lets call it 13 flat with a stick. thats a whole hell of a lot better then the 13.8ish that mags claim. i dont understand these mags want to brag on the new cars and yet dont want to fudge the numbers. i mean this is the same car running .5sh slower. makes no sense to make a car sound slower then it really is to me. i wont talk so much s*** on the 04 if theyll do 13 flat... but theyre still ugly

Well lets see, car mags are in the pocket of car makers. If there was ever any question, look at the Car and driver, and motor trend car of the year...A Friggin Toyota Pirus! How much do you think that cost Toyota? Now, look at the at January motor trend. They compared the Ford GT to the dodge viper, but intentionally reused the same test data on the Dodge viper that they had previously tested in other conditions. Right down to the 1000th of a second. Most of their head to head tests do their best job to show that two wonderful cars are dead even, and if they don't perform the same on the same day, they will use previously recorded info, that may or may not have been recorded in the same conditions to prove their point. No doubt that in some conditions, especially with bad air, and excessive wheel spin, a stock GTO can only muster 13.8ish. They will continue to use this number, unless comparing it to a faster car, and if they can get better times, they will use them. I read these magazines to stay current on what is coming out, but their opinions and performance numbers are so easily bought that they are practically useless. If GM ponies up more $, I have no doubt these mags can show sub 13.5. That is why you have to drive one to know for sure!

you got a good point. i wondered myself why a prius would get car of the year. i mean id rather drive a pinto. and they like to cover the bmw's,audi's..... and try to make it sound like a sports car. seriously why would i want to know the 1/4 mile times of these luxury cars ? i take back the pinto remark... make it a gremlin. or a geo metro running on 3 cylinders.

Thanks Nick. Since my change in jobs a couple of months ago I rarely ever get onto LS1/LS2.com any more, but I was still curious.

Especially on two separate and independent mag's, in the same year! These are supposed to be performance oriented car mags too, it's not like we're reading consumer reports or something! Oh well, that stunt pissed me off, but what are ya gonna.
