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 think u all are being decived here...the neon is powered by a 420a dohc engine..the very same engine thats in the 95-99 mitsu eclipse rs,gt,and gs modles..i own a gs eclipse, and have seen engine work done on them....low 16's would be about right...however the 118mph doesn't sound just...from my experience it seems like she would be running 90-100mph in the 1/4...but yeah, neons can be very very fast if you do them up right...they get bashed on, but when people find out that some eclipses have the same engine, then they give alil more credit, i know i sure as hell did
