Nice man, I wouldnt Jinx yourself about his car smoking

haha, your probably right my damn car is gonna blow up tommorow or something. haha

When you say you killed a Neon, you really DID kill a Neon!
I can respect a Neon that has LOTS of work done to it, but off the shelf those cars are ass.

[91AccordLX]

yeah, your right the older neons are shit....the one i raced was the 1995-1999 model, and everyone knows those are crap...i actually do really like the new body style though.....especially the SRT-4 model, sooooo damn nice...that has to be the best and fastest car you can get for under $19,000. but of course i love my accord much more.

[deevergote]

Yeah, I admit... the SRT-4 looks pretty hot, and it's great for the money. Still, in 5 years they will all be beat to hell... They aren't made to last. Even the STis and Evos will be run ragged, and they're built of sturdier stuff. The Neons are just like the turbo DSMs. Cheap enough for a kid to buy one and beat it to death. A 17 year old kid who gets mommy to buy him a turbo Neon certainly won't take care of it! Ok, I'm stereotyping, but I feel pretty confident in that anyway!

With a built engine, any Neon can be made into an impressive race machine. They don't weigh too much, and they have potential. Still, it's a lower quality platform than a Civic.

I'd take a Civic over a Neon any day of the week.

[deevergote]

I'd take a Geo Metro over a Neon Of course, I would make that sucker fast and surprise everyone

[91AccordLX]

haha i just seen a VID on here of a 9 second metro, it was ridiculous.....but i have to disagree about the sti's and evo's been ragged out in 5 yrs, subarus last forever, and newer mitsu's are pretty damn good, but the srt-4 i have no idea how good it is, i just know its fast, cheap, and good looking. but im sure its reliable.

[Takeda]

I'd question the "good looking" part of that.... 4 door Neons aren't my cup of tea... I don't care how turbo charged it is... ugly... come to think of it, 2 door Neons are ugly too... heh, sorry... I'm a Neon hater

[91AccordLX]

i guess everyone has their own opinions, i just think the 2003-2005 neons look good

[Takeda]

better than your CB7?! hehe.. naww

[91AccordLX]

haha no way, i have always loved cb7's, ever since i was a small kid, i dont really know why, but i always wanted one. but yes a srt-4 would certainly be nice

Geo's

Haha funny you should say that. My friends cousin who lives in Nevada knows a guy with a pos looking Geo Metro...but it's turbo.....YES TURBO. Ultimate sleeper. Those things don't weigh anything at all. There is a fast Geo Storm driving in my area. I was with my friend in his 2k civic si and that guy either knows how to drive or he done something with the motor. He beat us by 1 car length. I was surprised later to find out that those things are actually DOHC and share the same engine as a Isuzu impulse....so maybe some honda traits are in there? I know isuzu made some clones of some old honda vehicles like the Isuzu Oasis and the Honda Oddysey.

When i'm bored tonight, i'm going to browse around and check to see what Isuzu/Storm enthusiasts do to their cars. I wonder if it's even been done...swapping a B-series motor into a one of those cars with the engine was rotated the opposite way. The isuzu block looks about the size of a B-series motor......

If i had money to spend, I would buy a Daewoo hatch and shoehorn a B18C or H22. I dunno...i think those daewoo hatches are quite sexy....except for the front grilles. The tailights on those kinda remind me of a Toyota Supra's with the color scheme of red,white,amber.

[deevergote]

There's a decent looking Impulse around here... I did a little research on them when I first saw it. I gained some respect for the Storm that day myself! A Metro would indeed make a great sleeper. $500 for the car, $2000 for a rebuilt (and somewhat built) engine, and $1500 for turbo parts. $4000 and I bet that could break into the 11's... Still, in the end, it WILL be a Metro.

As for the Daewoo, just before they went out of business in the US the dealerships in my area were running a "buy one get one" sale. 2 cars for the price of one. I wanted to do it! The Daewoo Lanos is pretty sweet. My friend had one (until he totalled it... 35mph into a guardrail did it in). They would make pretty sweet sleepers... or better yet, fast and don'e up all F&F-like
