Thus far, I have run 14.4 @ 96.9MPH on street tires (2.26 60') @ 2700' elevation and no cam tuning. To keep it as stock looking as possible, the only true exterior mod was the wheels (which arnt that noticeable). Under the hood, the header and intake manifold were painted black. The exhaust out the rear was painted black (and is a stock-looking muffler). Even the interior is stock looking (with the exception of the short throw shifter and knob, which I plan to powder coat/paint black)

I still have quite a few more mods to go because I get low 13's N/A like I want, but im getting closer.

To me, this looks like the spam with the domain pictures.

Either way, at least its not a Cavalier.

Nope, not spamming. Not selling it (and I doubt anybody would want to buy it... nobody has love for a neon... hence the sleeper effect )

I almost bought a sleeper neon with 300BHP.

It had almost everything you have there, just a turbo kit with stage 2 from mopar themselves.

I rolled an 03' SXT 5 times once, and now have a 05' SXT, saving up for the SRT-4.

Sweetness. I was going to buy an SRT-4, but walked away with an 04 SXT instead. Thats my daily driver. I use my first gen for fun Just a note though: a 1st gen neon w/ an SRT-4 engine (or any well-built engine for that matter) will beat an SRT-4 in every aspect, from insurance, performance, etc... Except for respect. Dont get a whole lot of that

just as a suggestion, turn the wheels away from the camera next time ... wheels look much better than tire tread, regardless of how agressive the tread is.

otherwise ... I'm all for sleepers ... i don't know if I could drive a neon, though, personally. nice car, though

aren't srt-4's like the 3rd most expensive car to insure other than something else, and the evo?

=P but, they are damn sharp!

Subaru WRX.

Beautiful work I dont care what everyone else has to say you put alot of time into this car and you deserve a pat on the back even though nissan owns j00

Hey thanx I used to drive a Nissan Pulsar. Fun car, VERY unreliable engine. Wish I could have done some good modding in its day on the suspension. Maybe in the future.

...all that, and it's still a neon

I can't talk though - I'm sure it would beat my Ford Pornstar...
