I realize the new Neons are fast and cheap, but this hurts. Yesterday, I am propositioned on the interstate by this cute neon. I ease into it and the guy leaves me!! Granted, he did get a jump on me, but I am not sure I was making any ground on him. I hit it from about 4800 rpm's in 3rd. I am sure he was more ready than I but again, I am not sure by the top of 3rd I was making any ground. My car is a 93 weighs 2850 lbs and has I/H/E,chip,comptech clutch/flywheel and short gears. He claims he was running no nitrous with about 18 lbs boost. He claims only running 13.4 at 106.7. I have done roll ons with a new m3, slp firehawk,ss camaro, and my wifes 96 M3. I have pulled all of them and expected the Neon to be a little quicker than my wife's M3. My g-tech showed my car at 13.0 at 110 mph with out the gears and clutch. Is my car slower than what I think or is the guy with the Neon hiding something from me. The slp firehawk should be about a 13.0 at 109 mph and I pulled him . I do not drag race, but my gosh, a NEON!!! My wife's M3 is not even close. I refuse to believe my car is running 13.6 at 105.
