Default Raced a NEON!

Okay, so it was only because the driver was a rather cute young lady, and I was toying the whole time. But it's fun not having to push your car to catch up! Of course, I pegged the shift at 8900 both times, just because I can. I love this car

I saw a video of a neon at a track beating a Viper.

We have a guy around here that just turbocharged his neon. I believe he dynoed at almost 200 hp to the wheels and I think he runs low 14's. Pretty quick for a neon but I can't wait to catch him on the highway.

Sadly, no I didn't... Got stuck in the wrong lane as she exited the highway. Oh well.
