Welp guys, I am proud to say a stock 2.2 5 speed manual can take down an SXT Neon. It had a lot of "Bling" on it, but I couldn't hear any engine mods on it as we were dragging. Mind you this was about 30 minutes ago, and I had just gotten off work and was still in uniform.
He pulled up next to me, and revs, I look, nod, and green light dropped... He had an early start because I wanted to mess with him a bit, but I smoked him in the quarter and full mile drag. Ah how refreshing. A KILL!

That guy should have known not to mess with OFFICER 1151don't know what he was thinking !!

 

HHR 2.2 vs Neon SXT possible. HHR 2.2 vs Neon SRT-4 didn't happen unless it was being towed.

 

Sorry for asking this, but dont you think that someone pulling up beside you and seeing your "uniform" would really want to take a chance racing you? I know you are only a security gaurd but how do they know that you werent really a cop? I know I wouldnt want to take a chance racing someone in "uniform" just for the fact that it could be a BIG EXPENSIVE ticket.

 

I say.... "and then the alarm clock went off"...

IOW, BS!!

 

Sorry....I call 'em as I see 'em.

215+ HP against your 150ish...your 3200 pounds against his 2900. Just not going to happen.

Much like Joe, I call BS.....unless it was a stock Neon DRESSED as an SRT.

 

Went back out for a drive today and saw the same guy, and checked. It was an SXT. My bad on the misinformation.
Btw, talked to the dealership about get a 2.0L Turbo with all required parts for my shadow. Coughin up another $10,000 would get me somewhere in the ballpark. Not including install and repgrogramming computers. Etc.

 

I was gonna say no way on a SRT neon, but yeah SXT makes sense. Still fun though to go and play.

 

For $13k and change you could by a used SS and just drive it

 

then you could have one for vacations and one for the lights/work and post a new pick for the driveway scene
