#41 of 522 actually by mikemajesty Mar 30, 2002 (10:11 am)
it was a 2000 gt, and no, i dont smoke crack. and i would really would have spanked your extremely slow spyder. the 2000/2001 gt is an embarassment, what around 60 horses per liter or so. they run like what, mid 15's in the quarter mile. they handle like camry's as well. i had a neon r/t package with no stripes, and ran a 15 flat in the qm.im sorry its hard for you to believe, but eclipse gt's are dogs, in every aspect of performance.

... Neon city. Anything to make Neon sportier would be great, because I have to see them all of time.

you seriously are smoking something. how do you figure that your little 150hp neon r/t could beat a 210hp eclipse spyder gs-t?   I would bet anything that you would lose that race.   ps. you have to make sure the person in the next car knows your trying to race him before you can claim that you smoked them. "yea man I smoked a viper off the line with my civic!! yea, i'm fast!!"
#44 of 522 ummmm by mikemajesty Apr 03, 2002 (12:35 am)
your claim of smokin a viper in a civic is retarded first off. and i know i couldnt beat the gs-t convertible. i said i would smoke the 200 hp gt convertible(make sure you actually read things correctly). the spyder gt runs about a 16.2 qm my friend, about as fast as a pt cruiser or, as you said, a civic ex. by the way, i have seen plenty of civis that can take vipers in the qm. and also, before you make ignorant comments about drag racing, the races im talkin about were done on a track, so if the other guy didnt think he was racing he was definately in the wrong place, and must have been really confused since we raced 3 times. also, i already have a couple of trophies drag racing with my first gen rx7 that puts about 300 hp at the wheels and runs low 12's. ignoratnt.

the way i say your remark about the viper and civic and viper is retarded because an eclipse gs-t spyderis not really a viper. they run like what, a 15 second qm, considering the stock coupes ran 14.8's or so.
#46 of 522 Price and 0-60 times by bruticus Apr 03, 2002 (5:53 am)
I'd like to know of other 200hp, sub-$20K cars out there.   For those who cast doubt on the 0-60 time reported by Autoweek, first keep in mind that when carmag editors test for 0-60, they drive the car almost to the point of failure. My current C&D briefly mentions this by saying (paraphrase) "we have at least one tester who was able to snap off clutchless upshifts, turning in the 0-60 numbers contained in the review."   Second, the hp/wt figure listed in post #1 is 14.48 pounds/hp. Using Edmunds' figures, the Audi S4's ratio is 14.37 pounds/hp, and the quoted 0-60 time is 6.0. In terms of straight numbers, the Neon would seem to be at a disadvantage and, therefore, should not be faster than the S4. But keep in mind the S4 has AWD; the inherent driveline friction will significantly lower power delivered to the road.   Third, it's almost impossible to have the absolute, definitive, inviolate 0-60 (or 1/4 mile, etc) figures. SO much affects a car's performance that even running a test at 8am or 8pm will make a noticeable difference.   If possible, I'll definitely secure a test drive in an SRT4, if only to see how much more fun it is than my '96 ACR, but my heart is set on a WRX. The price increase isn't outrageous to get AWD and Subaru reliability.   DjB
#47 of 522 it was by swinga7 Apr 03, 2002 (6:59 am)
supposed to be stupid to exagerate your stupid comments about beating up on all these cars with your super cool neon
#48 of 522 all by mikemajesty Apr 03, 2002 (6:29 pm)
what super cool cars? an eclipse gt? wow, that is super cool. and bruticus, i too doubt that the srt will do 60 in 5.9, but the time you quoted for the s4 is incorret, it does sixty stock in 5.5. i would say about 6.2 is reasonable for the srt. but dodge says they will have a huge factory aftermarket support in the mopar division for the neon srt.
#49 of 522 So how is the S4 so much faster than the SRT? by bruticus Apr 04, 2002 (4:29 am)
Given the very slight difference in power/weight ratio, and the additional driveline friction from the S4's Quattro system, what slows the Neon down so much?   I'm honestly curious, as opposed to combative.   DjB
#50 of 522 well by mikemajesty Apr 04, 2002 (10:13 am)
you are assuming that quattro would slow acceleration times to 60, which it doesnt. watch any awd car launch against any rwd car and the awd car will always get the jump. as for why its so much faster considering the power to weight difference, there could be alot of factors. gearing is a large one, and aerodynamics may be another. im not sure what the neon srt weighs, but the s4 is damn heavy at around 3600lbs. i really am not sure how to answer the question, but i sure shifty could, so where are ya.
