burnout fail

I don't care for the video, its just a Neon. Those POS are worst than Hondas in my eyes. I love how some SRT guys think they are badass going fast straight, take a little turn and they hit the brakes...LOL

Neons are actually extremely capable track cars. ACR's and R/T's do very well from CStreetPrep to Street Mod classes. C stock, old D stock...you name it.The people who rice them out and race about on the street is what gives them a bad name.But the same goes for Civics, 240's, and other cars...

it can go either way, any car that gets tuned properly with a competent driver can perform well on the track. It does not change the fact that most Streets Neons that I have seen have been

QFT. Too bad the odds of finding one capable of being tracked with a competent owner/driver are very slim anymore. 9:1 rice : race.

I think that's true, but the Neon's image is hurt by more than just that. The neon isn't just "affordable." It's el-cheapo. The Civic might be a budgetmobile but at least it's livable inside. Neons are apallingly cheap inside and out. Every inch of the car reeks of cost savings. They're the cheapest of the cheapest of the cheap. You would be hard pressed to find a more budget-feeling car out there.

I'd say that's where most of the Neon's negative reputation comes from. While they might be fun, and may even be quick, they are NOT "nice" cars. That's why I never understood the appeal of the SRT4. I don't care how quick it is, who wants to have to drive a car that was made to be as cheap as possible every day? Nothing wrong with saving money but the Neon takes that to extremes. Why buy a Neon when used Civics are just as dependable but much nicer to drive every day?

One of my cousins used to drive a Neon. The first time I rode in it I remember thinking "why would anyone actually pay money for this thing?!"

And of course another strike the Neon has against it is its cute looks. It has the lovable retard thing going on. It's hard to take something that looks like a Pokemon design reject seriously.

Neons might make fun track cars but I can't imagine owning one as a primary means of transportation. And this is coming from a guy who drove an ultra-base-model Ranger for years...with plastic everywhere and no carpet.

The problem with the neon is that it was produced by Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge as their econoebox. It also suffered from the Chrysler corp can't paint a car syndrome (only suffering marginally less than the Dodge Rams and Caravans). Ford on the other hand just used piss poor products to build piss poor cars, the engines were crap (except the ones outsourced from Mazda,) the interiors were crap and uncomfortable and let's face it they aren't exactly the safest or most reliable cars on the road. Their econos***boxes were just that, cheap and fast to produce. The Festiva and Aspire being the cheapest of the cheap (they sold new fully loaded for a hair under $10K) I mean it was the only car that you could buy with no money down and still have a $99 a month car payment with no credit.

No way. The Escort is a hundred times the car the Neon is. Better built, better interior quality, better body quality. I hate the Escort, absolutely, but the Neon's in a whole different league of suck.

to everyone IT WAS A SETUP that car was in a rollover if u couldnt tell. he took his good motor out and put a junk motor in that car sens it was going to be junked anyways. and it was i think he said the flywheel that shot up.

yeah apparently my bf knows the guy and the car was was in a rollover and was going to be junked so he staged the video and it was the clutch that blew up, not the motor or something like that.
