That's fine, you may have beaten many neons. I'm willing to bet alot of them that you have beaten were DOHC automatics, which I'll admit are dogs when bone stock, however there are some fast ones out there even with an automatic. Explain to me this though. How is having a part that doesn't move, and that is not exposed to extreme temperatures, where does durability and interestingly enough safety enter into the equation? I'm not flaming, but serisously explain your logic. Another thing, what kind of times are you pulling in the 1/4? And don't say street racing. IMO street racing is nothing. There's no way to prove anything. The only proof in my eyes is a time slip (well maybe a dash mounted video camera but who's taking notes?)
