Respect the NEON Type-R!
Yes.... the nitrous guy drove one of the most mysterious type of power adder cars out there..... it had one of those new fangled TURBO chargers!!!!
The maf on the bird crapped out for some unknown reason just a couple days before running.... I didn't have the spare $$$$ for a replacement so I snagged my buddies car. 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 Mods: stage 2 3 inch down pipe No cat Side exhaust Continental lame @ss tires in front. I lowered the front to 27 psi Raised the rear to 42. My only experience with a manual car at the track is my 2004 neon SXT.... which runs a blistering 15.7 seconds! So here are the results: I had serious wheel spin/ wheel hop in first gear, top of first gear, second gear.... the shifter knob popped off on three seperate runs.... if the wheel hop/ wheel spin was bad I gave up. Run 1 60......2.434 330....6.275 1/8....9.352 mph...81.30 1000..11.951 1/4....14.185 mph...102.22 Run 2 - gave up 60......2.503 330....7.019 1/8....10.336 mph...76.77 1000..13.027 1/4....15.447 mph...90.48 Run 3 60......2.386 330....6.170 1/8....9.235 mph...81.72 1000..11.841 1/4....14.086 mph...101.71 Run 4 - spun 60......3.438 330....7.208 1/8....10.268 mph...81.83 1000..12.872 1/4....15.120 mph...101.30 Run 5 60......2.367 330....6.126 1/8....9.159 mph...82.49 1000..11.742 1/4....13.967 mph...102.53 Run 6 60......2.298 330....6.068 1/8....9.133 mph...81.64 1000..11.739 1/4....13.984 mph...101.67 Run 7 60......2.339 330....6.068 1/8....9.141 mph...81.92 1000..11.730 1/4....13.967 mph...102.66 Run 8 - gave up 60......2.324 330....6.539 1/8....10.912 mph...55.45 1000..14.940 1/4....18.810 mph...56.89 Run 9 60......2.317 330....6.102 1/8....9.148 mph...82.33 1000..11.737 1/4....13.961 mph...102.60 Run 10 - shifter came off 60......2.246 330....7.401 1/8....12.760 mph...46.60 1000..17.059 1/4....20.545 mph...64.69 Run 11 60......2.271 330....6.043 1/8....9.118 mph...81.68 1000..11.729 1/4....13.988 mph...100.79 Run 12 60......2.269 330....6.052 1/8....9.130 mph...81.50 1000..11.745 1/4....13.997 mph...101.94 Run 13 - shifter came off 60......2.257 330....7.377 1/8....12.909 mph...44.91 1000..17.444 1/4....20.851 mph...68.89 Run 14 -spun - shifter came off 60......2.416 330....6.213 1/8....9.311 mph...81.04 1000..11.957 1/4....14.490 mph...84.48 Run 15 - spun 60......2.279 330....6.110 1/8....9.207 mph...81.29 1000..11.825 1/4....14.304 mph...88.22 Run 16 wheel hop 60......2.408 330....6.408 1/8....9.381 mph...80.60 1000..12.017 1/4....14.292 mph...100.40 Run 17 - wheel hop 60......2.339 330....6.191 1/8....9.298 mph...80.67 1000..11.929 1/4....14.186 mph...99.97 Run 18 60......2.238 330....6.043 1/8....9.121 mph...81.73 1000..11.725 1/4....13.972 mph...101.15 All in all, it was a good day. I spoke with the owner of the car and he told me my mph was low and ET wasn't the best... I was asked if I power shifted, I said no, I am not fast enouigh for it....I was told that is key for great times in this car. The turbo was relatively easy to figure out. 17 punds of boost. The horrible continental tires (bought used) that are on the car is what really held me back. I am used to drag racing a RWD car.... with some type of drag radial or slick on it..... so this was interesting. So... the nitrous guy drove a turbo car at the track.... it took a couple rounds but I became DAMN consistent.... on a 17 psi FWD manual street tire car. |
Neon Type-R FTW!

I thought they were good for low 14's right out of the box. With mods I would think it should be much better than that. :confused: I guess it needs more stickers!
|
They do..... the owner (surya) has gone 13.6 w/ just stage 2.
This is my first time at the track w/ a boosted car. I didn't power shift because I'm too slow. I've only driven this car a handful of times (maybe 5?) |
Oh yeah, special thanks to mr juice.... cause he gave me his car :)
|
james it turns out fish(blue neon guy) doesnt have motor mounts...so i dunno why he didnt have wheel hop issues :shrug:
|
dude 2.30+ 60's all day arent going to help those times...if you could get them into the 2.0 range that would be a mid 13 second car all day...and whats up with the shift popping off several times :lol: build quality at it finest?
oh and without powershifting the boost is probably dropping a ton and having to respool so I can see that as being a problem. But you defintly suck at the driver mod...keep to two pedals James. |
:rofl:
There is no way in hell I could get a 2.0 60 ft on those tires. And yes..... it looses boost in between shifts and has to respool for each gear. That hurts times. I like my A4's! |
if james had knees he'd be able to drive a car with 3 pedals, but since they are just nubs like the grandfather in King of the Hill he has a hard time doing anything that requires the knees to flex.
|
:rofl: You are older than me!
|
quiet up old men before i slit both your throats and watch the dust pour out.....
|
I can power shift my jeep, why cant you power shift a dodge?
