Ok so I'm talkin to some friends in Alabama and this girl says this...

it's a dodge neon (not very fast stock)...ummm....intake, exhaust, rebuilt engine, pressed and shaved pistons, shaved/rebuilt head, cam work, 65 mm throttle body, short shifter, 50 % over clutch..... and that's about it

He hasn't lost yet and his brother's 5.0 Mustang barely stays with it. the other night at the track for the eight mile, he ran a 9.9 sec flat. he ran low 16's at a quarter mile at a 118 mph.
Someone tell me i'm not a dumbass by not believeing this ^. I laughed and she got pissed..... I know I'm not too smart but come on... Is this believeable???

I head that neons can be fixed up to be really fast with a relativly low amout of work and money however a 16 sec car is not fast, and 118 mph 1/4 speed is pretty good, so there is some kinda of bs going on, I suppose if you could not shift for your life you could get a 16 at 118 mph, but then if you did know how to **** your times would be far better. but yeah realisticly if its got NOWZ then yeah wait till last min to blow and you could get a fast speed with a slow time, Or sit and burn at the line for a long time before getting any traction then take off and get up to speed to recover some time, or just have really bad reaction time to the light, like if you where retarted.
