I should have seen this one coming, i forgot you were a neon fan. Sorry if i offended you but this is my opinion that i'm entitled to i don't care if these cars can run a 7 second 1/4 mile its STILL A NEON. My car preference is not only based on performance if it was i'd have to get rid of all my vehicles and replace them with somthing with some guts. It also takes into account styling and reliability . I don't like the styling of the neon and i know of plenty of Neon owners who can't seem to get there cars outta the shop.

I'm going to call your BS here. Give me 'examples' of these neon owners and the repairs they've 'had' to have done. I'm more than just a 'neon fan', I'm someone with a LOT of knowledge about them. They are very reliable once you get that MLS (multi layered steel) headgasket installed in them. In fact, if we go SVX vs Neon in reliablity, the neon blows the SVX outta the water.
So basically, they're more reliable than an SVX, they're a lot faster, they handle a lot better, but you don't like the way they look. Fine. Just say that then. - Rob |

But again, you said swap in a manual gearbox, a decent turbo, and the SVX competes? Name one SVX in the 13s. Go ahead. And name a turbo system. Go ahead. You can't do either. - Rob PS: You will not hit 14s without nitrous. |

if this car had the support that common Nokia-mobiles have trust me hitting 10s would be a possibility. with the right weight reduction gearing power and traction conditions ANY car can be fast as hell. give me a 5spd turbo with nos. ill hit 13s and as far as the neon being limited, its a puny 4-banger. im not a friggin drag racer. i just like to race 1/4. the neon cant hold its own in a TS highway or highspeed track and touring and it will flip on a rally-x. i [had] an xt6 for dragging. now there is some potential for multiple category racing. oh yeah, and i used to like how they look. i used to want one til i got laughed at for it.

Sorry
Didn't mean to start another war, just thought I'd make conversation since the car has come up in a couple threads and I found 2.
I have also had a chance to see 2 Stis, 3 RX-8s, 350Z (plenty of those), G35 Coupe (ditto), and a new Crossfire. From pics I thought the Crossfire was ugly but its actually pretty damn cool (besides fake plastic fender vents). The only new car I still want to see is the Lancer Evo and a Chevy SSR.

"assrape"...now how much do you know about that subject? and i think a SVX can outdo a Neon in the snow and class...did the neon ever come out with leather seats? or was it just the peeling paint edition? oh wait....i'm sorry, but i didn't see anything about me comparing the SVX to a PEON.......... but that is okay...if it makes you feel better to talk about something nobody cares about...go ahead Kelli i think you didn't make a point, nor ever will about neons...sorry

re: adding fuel
<Harry starts cheering Kelli on!!!!!>
Good job Kelli, keep up the good work knocking on Rob's statements. Always funny to see what Kelli has to say. I can't help it, but it's funny seeing Rob fight for Dodge's 'Neon'. Rob you are truly the last man standing against an army. oh well...... <Harry drives by and drops a gum wrapper on Rob's lawn.> |

Snow? Yep. Class? Yep. High Transmission Failure Rate? Yep. No aftermarket? Yep. Not one SVX has ever been in the 13s? Yep. Quote:
Actually, YES! It was a rare option in 1995, but you could get a leather interior for your neon! After 1995, the option dissapearred, but it remained over seas so a lot of european and canadian neons have leather. Quote:
Hrm... I don't know... did that come after the 'most easily chippable paint in the world" SVX edition, or was it before the "Flakey Black Subaru Paint" edition SVX? Quote:
Oh wait, I can't think of any good excuses so I guess I'll just contort the name 'neon' into 'peon' and hope that someone, somewhere, finds that witty. - Rob PS: This just in! A 12 yr old mentally retarded kid with down syndrome did in fact find Kelli's comment witty! Congrats! |

what i find is always funny is how angry Robbie gets when someone picks on his fellow Neon...they are quite the same in many ways
both stupid looking both annoying to see (or see post) both irritating to hear about both have about the same respect...>zero< both have a crappy interior i could go on, but i don't feel like Rob is worth the energy... and class...you know what class is rob??....something you lack Kelli

Who was the person who just took jabs based on my physical appearance? Yeah, that was cool in what, elementary school? And prior to that you inferred that I would know about ass raping. Yes yes, very classy.... for a 4th grader. - Rob |
