6 Gen Celica VS. 2003 Dodge Neon SXT, Damn! That thing is fast :'( Options

[Guest_DJMC_Celica_*]

Ok so i strolled into the dodge dealership this afternoon, because i had to pick a friend up from the service dept. Anyways, i was in the show rom checking out the new Neon SXTs. I oculdn't believe 0-60 in 5.5sec!!! Anyways i noticed it had some souped up sh*t underneath the hood! I mean it had a blow off vavle, Turbo, All aftermarket headers, nice intercooler, and not to mention the beautiful chrome strut bar! But i was thinking "Man! some of these parts are small enough to fit underneath the hood of a celica", i mean do the even make half this stuff for our cars? and if so where can i buy it? But i am still bitter to say that a neon will kill my car in race!!!

The RX8's were originally posted as 250hp, at the crank...but this was a mistake cuz those were the J-Spec cars. They soon after released 238 as the official crank HP numbers. There hasn't been a report of a 6Speed RX8 getting less than 215 at the crank yet. Which would make it 23 or less, so 30 is a bit over. The numbers people were pissed is the wheel horsepower numbers in only getting 170-190. And so people got mad and Mazda said they'd buy the RX8's back. That car is literally one of the finest machines in a while. It's perfect weight ratio makes that thing ultimate in handling. The RX8 was made for being able to do the twisties really fast...and after slowing down a bit in a corner then being able to rev it up really quick and get back to speed with guzzling too much oil and gas like the RX7 with the 13B did.

And the engines aren't very durable. I ca't imagine what they'll be like with no more variable boost and thne people controlling the boost level themselves.

And last, wow a 5k dealer markup? My dealer had a price of $19,495 and then the $500 delivery charge, so that made it 19,995. No extra markup, except the regular ones you get when buying any brand new car such as license and tax.
