I fail to see the humor, I think is rather pathetic.

OK, the son of a bitch post had me rollin'. I just cleared the tears of laughter from my eyes. I don't even know why I thought it was so funny. Michelle is right though. Tool means nothing. He's pounded me and everyone else here for a long time. He even made fun of me when I was raising money for a kids charity and he was acting like he was quoting me with I believe "I got's to save the kids". After reading his other posts and the way he humors himself, he really means no harm. Had he known I had a little brother that died, I'm sure he wouldn't have said anything. He catches you off guard with some of the **** that comes out of his mouth, but that's all it is...****. No offense Tool.

I downloaded a vid of a modified Dodge Neon RT doing something like 550 at the wheels, a rennlister actually posted it.

I can repost it for all times sake

Not to start any racing arguments or anything....

What newer sports cars can a 240-260 rwhp 951 keep up with or outperform? I know that our cars mid range power and low weight allow it to run with more powerful cars. About 250 rwhp should be enough to hang with stock mustang GTs or mach 1s, correct?

Here is a true SRT-4 story. Some of you may know that I'm a BMW tech. Well, while out in a customer's E39 M5, a fellow tech encountered a black SRT-4 on the highway. Naturally, a speed contest ensued. They raced from about 80mph to over 140mph. The Neon started off behind the M5, and by about 130 was passing. My colleague backed off knowing that he could easily go to jail for this and probably get fired. Anyway, they are very fast. We don't know if the Neon was stock or modded. However, he said it passed by with no problem at that speed. Bang for the buck, there isn't much out there that can touch it. Would I buy one? Definately not. They are cheap. Enough said.

If I wanted something ridicously fast and cheap, i'd buy a DSM. At least then I wouldn't be driving a neon.

A GT is one slow car. I was killing them when I was stock. I also ran a friends catback 04 mach 1 and filmed it. I am sure some people on here know where my vids are and have seen it.

A 250rwhp 951 shouldnt have any problems with a stock mach 1. Its the cobras you have to worry about.

As far as the neon passing the new m5. It was far from stock to pull that hard at 130. They are quick stock but, by no means fast.

For record I consider a 12sec car. 13's is normal....anything slower than 13's is slow. 11 and under is fast.

My friend jason's srt-4 is quick. Just like my car...I persume I will be walking away from him above the 1/4 mile though.

porshh951, can't wait for the video. i don't understand how those cars can handle turns. the tires aren't even in the wheel wells. the ride height looks like the CofG is very high. i saw one on the road one night it had the light up tire valve stem covers on it. he really wanted to race.

None of my videos get posted on here anymore. I got tired of the backlash from 10-12 or so guys.

But, if you look around the site you shouldnt have a problem locating them.
