And yep....it's still a Neon!

considering that the creator of this thread has responded at all and suddenly this guys comes in with his ultra sweet neon and starts a flame war, i get the feeling the two people are one in the same and he's just trying to show off his supperior e-thugging abilities.
I bet if you searched a couple of neon forums you would find a link to this thread with this guy causing a riot of people talking **** about a cobalt. Get a life dude.

ROFLMAO yeap, you got me. I'm the creator of the thread. Guess that just proves that you have no way of checking locations, or IP addresses, and also have no friggin common sense...
And you caught me on talking **** about cobalt's too. I guess that's why I told my g/f to buy one of those even over neons, sentra's, and every other econobox out there on the market. Boy you guys have read me like a ******* book!
And to anyone that ever wants to race...i'll be more than happy to meet anyone at Beech Bend, IRP, Gateway, or anywhere else within 3 hours of here. Put your money where your mouth is...spray me! I don't give a damn.
And search the neon forums... I regularly visit www.neons.org (Mike P screen name), www.************** (solodogg screen name) and www.2gn.org (solodogg screen name), see if it's posted on any of them. Any other attempted insults???

Yeah, i'd love to race a fast Cobalt too...since the only SS here in town got embarassed by my friend in an '06 Civic SI.

If you'd like to travel north, i will be a Milan Dragway in mid to late october with my stock base model cobalt. If you would like to bring some of your stock neon friends i'd love to race them but i'm not driving all over the ****** country to race a neon...sorry

I also love your sig quote "put that in their compressor housing and spool it". Okay....i'll grab my dyno sheet later this evening and scan it in. 241hp/268ft.lbs. and my torque curve is flat as hell from 2k to 5.8kRPM. My power also falls off before redline, so that I can fully take advantage of all the car has. And that's spooling like hell in my compressor housing.

Hey all i hate to tell you but i know for a fact solo can drive. As stated in his previous posts he has won first place at Mopar Nationals in 2003 he is one of the most respected guys here in town for his knowledge on cars and his ability to drive. He has never been in a wreck and has the best time in several cars around town.
I am not gonna lie i am the girlfriend. He did come on here to look at aftermarket for me and seeing what we can do to make my car better. But guys i have seen the cars run both neons, celicas, and cobalts and i have seen the best runs out of neons. I am not doubting cobalts are quick but it was a dead even run between the celica and the cobalt. I was in the passenger seat.

Sorry that your ***** hurts today...maybe if you'd clean it every once in a while you'd be in a better mood.

However, no, you coming on here and attacking our cars is not a way to get help. I'm sorry but i do not see a stock base model neon running a high 14 second pass, no matter how good the driver is. now if you would like to provide some proof of a STOCK, base model neon running a high 14 second pass i owuld be happy to take back all my statements about neons. All we're arguing is that we've run stock neons. i know i put about 3 cars on one on sat.
And besides you're the one getting all defensive, all i was saying is that it's pretty stupid to come onto a COBALT forum and talk trash about cobalts and then when someone argues that a stock cobalt is faster than a stock neon you go "well my modded neon is sooo fast ill run everyone on here" it makes you look extremely immature and ignorant.

this thread makes all involved look stupid... there is no point to this thread, and it doesn't accomplish anything... give it up, start in a new post, and don't compare neons to cobalts... whether you were bashing or not, if one of us were to go on a neon website and talk about how cobalts beat stock neons, the same thing would be happening...
everyone just give it a rest, it's not worth your breath... anyone that knows anything about cars knows that a stock base cobalt will beat a stock base neon... fighting about it proves nothing, fact is fact... they're BOTH slow cars, so who cares which one is faster...

i agree...i did manage to burn a few hours of work tho

well if you guys would look at my join date...it's only been a couple of days. This thread and another were 2 that stuck out at me..and i'm sorry, but when you read **** like this, and see it's just another typical car forum where everyone thinks their cars are the best thing since sliced bread...of course i'm gonna reply back.
Also...I never once mentioned a high 14 second 1/4 mile stock 2nd gen neon. But, I can show you a high 14 second 1/4 mile DOHC 1g neon if you want to see that. I used to have a black 2002 R/T that ran a 10.00 @ 72mph 100% bone stock in the 1/8th mile, and only got slower with modifications. That's why i've moved up to the FI market, and decided to go sleeper this time.
I agree with the last comment made... they're both slow, and who cares who wins the race. That's got to be the most respectable comment made thus far. If we had a stock cobalt ls and a stock neon se racing on the highway...we'd look like a bunch of ******* dumbasses to the guy in the mustang cobra that comes flying past while eating a beef burrito and talking on the cell phone!

that being said, don't judge everyone on the site because a few people don't know how to conduct themselves... and welcome!

thanks
i'm all about different types of cars. Hell, i've even considered selling my swap car and buying a 2.4L SS, but I don't think i'd be happy without the power It's bad when 240 horses in a FWD car just doesn't excite you anymore LOL

Also there is only 2 Neon models that can beat even the slowest Cobalt. The Sport model 150 hp 5 speed and the SRT-4. Any other model doesn't even compair.

i have a very hard time beleiving you you kept up with the gt-s...they make 180hp and i actually think they weigh less than you do.

Yep, the GT-S only one by a car and a half. I was actually expecting to get spanked but I was greatly surprised that they are a lot slower then I originally thought.
#47
yes, but with a car that light the lack of torque doesn't really take away much. the new si is far faster than the 2.2 even tho it doesn't have much torque. torque and hp count.

The whole debate between the neon and the cobalt can be summed up in one part. And this goes to solodog er whatever ya are. I looked at your pics of your neon, and yea it looks good, but my question is, how many head gaskets do ya put in that thing every year? Haven't heard anything about the 2.2 ecotec needing that kind of overhaul on a yearly basis.... When you get something real, like anything other than a dodge, let me know, and yea i'll race your stock neon against my stock cobalt with a 2.2.... I'm your taker, now come on up to the tundra and get me, tag your it.
