why wait for next year... 400hp is but mearly a few bolt-ons/ tweaks away, that most likely can be done without voiding warranty.

I will be taking mine to the track once Maple Grove opens. I'm confident I can get the car into the low 13's.
It's funny my 72 Lemans turned a best of 13.3@103 and everybody was given me kudo's on the times.
The new GTO 6speed was tested by MT at 13.6@104 and everyone says it's a lame time. It's still the fastest STOCK, I said STOCK GTO to date. And your right, When did 13's slips become lame?

13's is not all that fast imo, But to do it in somthing that has every thing these new cars have on em and still have warentes(sp?) is awsum. I took my 5000# truck to the track sat and with very bad traction it went 13.67 @ 103mph Like I said not super fast but Not a hole lot can hang with those times.
Nick any plans for mods?

next year if they come out with the 400 and make it look better and faster id drive that. but not the 04. no way im gonna brag on the 04 when it will lose ( assume the gto does 13.5 thats a fair estimation according to the mag results ranging from 13.6ish-14ish ) the evo 8 will do 13.4 and the sti is supposed to do 13.2 the neon is supposed to be around 13.6 as well but with 4 less cylinders and wrong wheel drive. does anyone else see a problem ? hello 4 more cylinders. the new gto shoudl beat the s*** out of these imports

And how do you know it won't. Don't go by magazine times. There bogus most of the time, magazine racing is out. I go to drags all the time, including those great test and tune nights when the lanes are filled with imports.
I've have YET to see any Neon go better than 14.5 last year. There was a blue WRX STi at Cecil county last that was running a 13.6-7 So....
But you know, I don't care. I didn't buy this car to be a street racer, and I certainly didn't buy it for anyone on this board. I bought for me.

I've never seen a all stock front wheel drive ***** box neon run 13.6's. 14.0s to 14.2s are the norm and with some drag radials run high 13. Neon are large bags of *****, a throw away car after 50,000 miles.
Nitrous you trusted your a$$ still got busted

I told you this before...
If you think those cars are so much better, buy one.
You seem to spend all your time trying to prove how fast these 4 bangers are - so you must really prefer them.
Go hang out in those boards. They'll appreciate your interest in fart pipes, decals, and big wings...
