Thanks for the kind words. :thumb:

Just before launch I took my foot off the brake to get my rpms up. i didn't expect to roll, but i did. So, to avoid losing before i started, i had to hit the brakes and he got the hole shot. i was completely thrown off by all that lol. Then missing 2nd, i figured he was gone. I was surprised that by the time I had regained traction that he really didn't get that far ahead of me.

The guy was/is a pretty cool guy. i was surprised as well. The next day he sent a friend request on facebook lol.

My brother has an SRT4 as well but we haven't had a chance to run em. I figured that would give me an idea.

I can't wait to get what I need to make this thing hook and haul. Hopefully this summer so I can hit some strips.

Please excuse the filth lol. We've had some unusually dry weather and my driveway is dirt so it gets dusty. Amongst other things that blow around lol. I need to clean the interior BAD!

It happens when you use it as a daily though.

Anyway, remember, this is my daily driver. Full interior and all. As well as about 50 lbs of junk in the trunk. haha

2350 lbs.

2500 lbs with me in it.

While I do like the looks of that console in the EG, it also looks too bulky to me. I do like it though.

And yes, I do ALL of my own work. And I do it all alone. I'm weird like that lol.

Curious as to what happened with yours?

- Sun Mar 22, 2015 5:04 pm #352759 Well. At the time between my two jobs i was working about 90 hours a week. So driving home from work one fateful evening i lost a TON of power on the interstate. Car started to run rough and shut off at idle. Trouble shot for a few days before i broke down and bought a compression gauge. I had two dead cylinders. Cylinder #1 and #2 were at 30 and 0. Popped the head off, rings were wearing out and had 6 burnt valves, 2 bent valves and 2 broken as f**k valves. My "buddie" who has a shop a 2 hours away said he could do a full rebuild on her in a few weeks for $900 bucks. I jumped on it. Seven months later im fighting with him to get the car back. Running or not. Read my thread, it explains it a bit more in detail.

Ok, yeah I have read your thread.

I'd just go pick up the car if it were me honestly. I hope it works out in the end.

It was a couple of weeks ago and it's kind of comical IMO. Everybody was trying to get me to run this Honda and that Honda. Nope, I want a piece of that Neon SRT4! Done.

I was sleeping at the line. Rolled into it, up in smoke. then I missed 2nd lol. Found it, up in smoke. Finally got traction, shifted to third and it was ON! But too late lol. I was reeling him in on the big end and to my surprise, despite all the issues i had in the first 60', he only got me by 1 car.

I was pleasantly impressed. I need some sticky tires, a traction bar, kpro and tuned and it will be a different story.

The neon driver: "I could defiantly tell the difference between half throttle and full throttle from my mirror. That thing sounds really good too!"



Trying running people from a roll. 2nd gear around 35mph or 3rd gear 60mph roll. :)
