    im sorry i still WILL NOT beleive it.

    you CAN NOT get 13.2sec from a neon on stock tires with stock suspenshion in a neon no matter WHAT you do to the engein.

    i would know My shadow (not a whole lot differant than a neon) had 200+hp and could not do it and it had wider tires and a LOT more performance options. IF i had the intercooler it would have been a 300hp car. Car weighed 2600lbs

    Full Flowmaster performance exhaust cat back (Includeing cat) 2.5"
    Factory Turbocharged with moded wastgate (was pinning my boost gage at 15psi WAY OVER safe limits but ALOT of extra go it was WORTH IT).
    Factor Roller lifters OHC motor
    Performance intake (coustom pipeing with k&N filter)
    Wider cooper cobra GT tires (they rubbed on full lock though).
    Engein rebuilt (after craking the head)
    0-60 in high 6 to low 7secs

    That car was able to GO but hooking up to the road was a MAJOR problem as in any FWD car.

    Now its been A LONG time since i owned that car and an even longer time since i had any intrest in raceing BUT im a mehcanic for a living and consider automotive performance as my NUMBER 1 hobby. I have been playing and working on cars ever since i was a wee lad lyin beside my grand father under his old 1977 Dodge. I dont mean to be mean but if you truly did run a 13.2 MAN ID LOVE TO SEE THAT VID.

    I dont think you relize how fast 13 secs is. I think fast and the furiouse is clouding some judgment here. a FULLY BLOWN SVT COBRA MUSTANGE with a BLOWN 4.6 and ALL the goodies pushes 400hp is RWD with performance tires and drien by a well known local driver gets a best of mid 13's how can a considerbly light moded 2.0L N/A on staight motor 4 cyl FWD car on stockish rubber pull off 13.2secs????

          I am a little puzzled also. My Stock Evo8 is 5 seconds and pulls mid 13s so these number I am hearing don't sounds right to me. I could and might be wrong but something sounds a little strange.

                  the quarter mile times seem a little low to me. I am not doubting you at all. I just have never heard of a 200-300HP car running in the times stated.

                        When you say 300HP do you mean at the wheels or crank because I just saw a GTI Mark IV with 310WHP run 11.22 so this is very possible. I am sorry for doubting...

                          its all about power to weight ratio... the 90s neons are light... and there are plenty of naturally aspirated examples of hellaciously fast neons...

                            The 1995 neon weights 2400lbs only 200lbs less than my older turbo shadow.

                            IM not sdaying neons are incapable of hitting those numbers im just say it aint happening with stock tires on STOCK suspenshion and 200hp.

                            My shadow with street tires and a turbo charged 2.2L 4 cylinder considerably modified would not pull a 13sec quarter mile a blown mustag struggels for low 13s how can the LIGHTLY moded nearly stock Neon do it??. The mustange for comparison weights 3600lbs but makes 400hp AND 400lbs tq and is rear wheel drive with none of the traction problems inharent with a fwd car.

                            Thats double the power without the traction isshues but not even close to double the weight.
