Looks like the Neon had some serious p00p done to it. That was one fast (and cheap) car. Gotta give credit where credit is due... Now let's put that Neon up against Al's car.

DISGRACE ................! WTF"!!! one of two things my friend.
1) either you got spanked and couldn't drive your evo (which I doubt) or 2) that srt-4 was NOT stock..
you know they have a stage 1 upgrade directrly from mopar and for really really cheap.......I have no doubt in my mind that is what he had. It consists of a remapped ECU, bigger injectors, improved throttle response and boost etc.. etc..
Those SRT-4's Modify well. my friend has one and yea its the ****. The only thing is he went through some runs in the valley and on the highway with me for about an hour str8 id say we were full ***** to the wall very late at night goin at it. He was allll stock and so was I and of course "I " was the one that did the spanking. anyway.....after a while we pulled over to see how our engines were holdin up. Mine was very very cool and seemed as if it was only through a ride down the park. now we came to his car and "WOA"....I HAVE NEVER SEEN A TURBO GLISTENING RED like that ever bfore! His turbo looked like it was about to blow up! it was sooooo freakin red.
dont quote me but I think that the srt-4's turbo is the weak spot and that really sucks if it is. Endurance wise anyway........

I drove a stock SRT-4. Even from a roll, it is no match for a stock Evolution.

two things here...looks like the evo driver wasn't that great. SRT driver was out looking for an EVO, I believe he knew he'd win with his "light" mods already.

I raced a modded 2G DSM and got smoked off the line. I completely bogged at the start. I'm guessing it's going to take a lot more practice to launch correctly. So I don't think the EVO driver was seasoned.
