Pesky non-SRT neons

I was coming back home tonight from spending the day with my girl (pwr2thaboost), and got stopped by a red light on the intersection of hwy 111 and 70. Then all of a sudden here comes this riced out newer model neon (SE, SXT, R/T i dunno which it was) 5-speed--> Exhaust and intake from what i could hear along with a PLEATHERA of ugly graphics. Anyways, so this kid revs at me( )

First i though....hmmmmm....why not........(Then->)....okay, naaaaaaaa---->


It had just rained so the road was still pretty wet. The light turns green, and this kid peels out WOT. I accelerate normally as i would from any light (1/3 throttle, shifting at 3200rpms with usually around 1-2psi) So yeah, i accelerate normally and WALK right past him.



Figured i'd share that with everyone for sh*ts and giggles.

And no, this is not even worthy of a being called a kill

Haha, that sucks for the neon. Oh well, he shouldn't have spent a dime on that car, and he shouldn't have revved at you!

Good job... I think... for...um... accidently beating this guy?

Thanks. I always knew what it meant [flooring the gas], but I couldn't decipher what each letter stood for.

i would drive a Dodge SRT anytime if it's as reliable as the honda cars... and 3g body conversion would fix that gay look

You'd lose that bet, most civic's cant beat a neon. Anyway stock for stock its a drivers race. Its funny watching people with equally shitty cars bash another shitty car.

Yeah fixing the body is simple... here's what you do:

1. cut body from neon.
2. cut body from civic
3. weld civic body on neon

Problem fixed!!!

It was a newer Neon?

Was the driver wearing a helmet? Because you gotta be partially retarded to actually buy a "newer" Neon.

lol the civic is superior to the neon in many many ways.

fuel economy, acceleration (a neon can run what... mid 16's? the civic ex can run 15.8), cornering, auto-x, resale value, reliability, etc.
