OT but don't underestimate Neon's. Neons have been around the sport compact scene since it's first drive off the factory line. They are as much of an icon in this import/sport compact world as the civic, teg, and crx

but they are uglier then sin :-x

neons do suck, but will own my hatch

and phuck nitrous man that stuff is crap in my opinion. I'd save the other $700 for fi and have that 50hp all the time instead of a second or two. N20 gets no respect from me.

race a few nights...3-5 races per night...and see how the bottle empties and see how well your engine takes it. and all the other times your not spraying your still in a slow ass car. plus its illegal to have armed on the street. plus it can go BOOM!!!

save that crap for a track car. I just fear for you fools street racing with that crap. if someone phugs up and wrecks you probably just reduced your chances of survival by 50% with the bomb you so carefully placed right above your gas tank.

and all the other times your not spraying your still in a slow ass car. <--this is not necisarily true..
plus its illegal to have armed on the street. plus it can go BOOM!!!<-- so can a poorly tuned turbo, or super charger

people that talk ish on juice don't understand it.. it is a great power adder for a daily driver for many reasons... it is power when YOU want it, it is not boost while you aer driving your car to class or work, or taking grandmom to the supermarket... it is not boost CONSTANTLY wailing away at your engine internals.. and it is COMPLETELY safe, if you do it correctly...

Anyone read anything about that new 210 hp turbo neon thats coming out? It sounds pretty damn impressive. I saw one at the NY auto show, and it looked pretty good too...although I don't think I could bring myself to drive one.

BTW.. autox is great if that is what you want.. if i were you i would decide on exactly what kind of performance you seek... are you looking for a high MPH highway turning curves performance, or are you loking for mustang killing stop light drag race performance...

AGREED! :thumbup: Me and OC_Civic know the power of spray. You can get a used nitrous kit for around 300-350 and you won't believe how much faster your car will be after it. I raced my buddies spec v without my 55 shot and he pulled me about 6 cars. Now i pull him about 6 350 bucks isn't bad for a 12 car difference...I've also beaten a 00 type r, intake/chip/exhaust 1.8T jetta/gti, svt focus, and a few si's, gsr, 5th gen preludes. All i have is i/h/e/55 shot

If i were to get a newer turbo car like that it would be the mazdaspeed protege. Comes with intake, racing beat exhaust, tokico shocks, body kit, racing hart rims, mp3 stereo, and T25 turbo! I loved the Mp3 already but it had no balls, the mazdaspeed protege will be awesome when it comes out.
