my mom has a neon, i think on a good day it might run a blazing fast 19 second 1/4 mile

Re:dodge lancer
 

It wouldnt be competition.And they wouldnt be copying the car,It would still be a Mitsu. but the only difference would be the badge and maybe some Mopar stickers or some gay ---- like that.The Dodge Stealth was the 3000gt.If it wasnt worth it for Mitsubishi they wouldnt put a gay Chrysler badge on it.They make money eather way couse of copyright/patent laws.So they basically sell the car to Chrysler and frome there they can do what ever they want.Just like the rice boys that turn Civics into
Lexus IS 300s.Once you buy the car you can do what ever you want!

Re:dodge lancer
 

does anybody remember the Plymouth Arrow? it was the predecessor to the much loved Dodge Conquest/Mitsubishi Starion. it was a front engine, rear wheel drive hatchback with a mitsubishi 2.6L carbed engine..That was my first car ever, and a blast to drive.

Re:dodge lancer
 

diamler chrsler owns mitsu so they make money all around :)

Re:dodge lancer
 

that would beat my sisters Civic ;D

Import/Domesic alliances have been going on since the Mid eighties.

There are Mitsubishi cars that use Dodge motors and vice-versa.

GM/Toyota/Isuzu -

Ford/Mazda

And FYI My 99 DOHC neon ran 15.9 stock at 84mph Fresh off of the Thrifty rent-a-car lot. ::)

IT's sweet having an under rated car - you should know that!

currently 13.98 @ 95mph 6psi(w/a few other mods 8)) no intercooler with a sweet 2.4 60ft :o - on street tires of course!

Re:dodge lancer
 

Keep talking the 30K neon is coming... 300Whp from the factory.

BTW Benz had a lot to do with the SRT and we all know how crappy there cars are...

If the $21K 215hp SRT runs 13.8 with a good driver ( numbers via motor-trend ) then what do you think the 300hp one is going to do to EVO ?? Imagine an SRT vs a EVO from a 30mph roll, the EVO would be very supprised..

One more thing...
Evo8 = 19psi with TD05HB16G
SRT = 14.5 psi with TD05HB16G

The SRT is almost totally different than a regular neon. I hated ALL neons before, but this one is different ( like how I hate ford, but love the new S/C cobra ).

The new dodge cross-fire is TOTALLY a benz SLK, minus the body panals...

Re:dodge lancer
 

the new crossfire is a total bag-o-ass, ugly and slow

Re:dodge lancer
 

Yeah but have you seen that gay ass turbo/mannifold combo on the neon?Its all in one so you cant upgrade the turbo withought changing out the manni.The Neon is still a Neon no matter what they change the name to or no matter how much horsepower they try to put into it.Looks like chrysler figured out thats the only way that ugly ass car would sell!
I would get a Corolla before I got a Neon.Why?couse Neons says......HI! Bahahahaha :D

Re:dodge lancer
 

Your right about the Cross-fire. It only runs low 15s ( faster than than every sport compact under $30K still ), but for the money it is a dog, but you also gotta note that it handles better than a new vette.

Did I meantion that the neon comes standard with a 7 year warrenty ??

I hated the neons of the past, but do some reseach and you'll find out it a well built machine or race one.. The old neons where EXTREMLY CRAPPY, and and everything in them would break like it was a Kia or something. I've also hated Dodge for ever ( the 360ci. 5.9L mid-sized Dakota R/T couldn't beat a stock civic ), but its fast and reliable now. If it runs high 13's now, what's gotta happen when a few crazy mofos get one and make 500whp on the stock block ( better than the 4G63 ) ???

Civic turbo
Stealth TT
Saturn beater
and my focus that really is the new "neon" is going to be traded for ( you guessed it ) an electric blue 04' SRT with a sun roof.

Re:dodge lancer
 

Oh no not the sun roof!


j/k :P
