another SRT4 neon goes down

I was at my friend's restaurant tonight, and they have a girl working there who has a boyfriend who owns an SRT4. The girl is actually pretty hot (she's 18), and tonight she wanted to go for a ride in my car. She was waitin for her boyfriend to pick her up, so we thought we'd take a spin.

Of course, I was more than willing to oblige. She got in and I took her for a good spin, putting it sideways, winding it out, taking it up to 110mph. She was havin a blast, but we were already gone 15 minutes. She was like no, I wanna keep going.

I was like, lol, alright. I noticed at one point she kept silencing her phone cuz it was vibrating/ringing. So I took her on some back roads, tore through some corners, and just got a chance to drive the car harder than I have all winter long.

Finally we head back to the restaurant after being gone a half hour, and she's like "i'm putting my number in your phone". We get back and her boyfriend gets out of his yellow SRT4 neon. haha, I'm like, this is gonna be good.

He's all pissed off and like "wtf where were you, blah blah blah". I'm like dude, calm down she just went for a ride. So then he steps to me like "who the f are you?". My best friend (who owns the place) walks over and in his italian accent is basically like "whoa back off you mess with my friend you mess with me".

Then of course, he instead goes to attacking my car. Honda this, no torque that, blah blah blah. So his girlfriend says "well it's faster and nicer than your car, so what's your problem".

HAHAHA. He's like whatever. I said I'd be glad to give him a little friendly run. After a few more of his tirades and him calming down a bit, he finally agrees to a race. He picks the race. He's like "ok we'll do a 30mph roll". (he obviously knows NOTHING about S2000's, or he wouldn't pick 30mph)

His girlfriend sits at the restaurant with my best friend, and we head out onto the road. 30mph roll, and 3 honks. 3 honks and we go. He jumps just a tiny little bit, but no matter. I pull on him pretty decently, as 30mph is a GREAT starting point for an S2000.

By 100mph I hit the hazards, and I have 2 cars on him. We get back and his girl gets in the car and she's like "bye". Then out of his sight she mouths "call me".

That guy got owned twice tonight, but only once that he knows about.

yeah well there's a lot of this crap out here. it's pretty easy to come across, particularly if you have a car that is rare to the area you live in. very VERY few S2000's around here.

For starters, there's a big difference between a car that makes 240 hp n/a and a car that makes 235 hp with forced induction, second, I'm sure the S2000 is alot lighter than the Neon and more areodynamic, lastly the s2000 has 6 gears to bang while the neon has 5 gears to bang, so that's better gearing in the s2000 espicially for top end speed. Of course you could always argue it's just a Neon, but that would be uncalled for.

nice one. 18 year olds are so impressionable. If that chick was my gf I would have kicked her to the curb. But I wouldn't have hated on a better car.
You need to carry a video camera with you or something. It would have been cool to to see it. keep em coming.

SRT4's put down about 220 to the wheels which equates to about 255 crank, and being 2900lbs dry is kinda a kick in the nuts.

nice kill BTW
