Eventually. It will most likely take a bit to get use to that much power in a FWD. Though it will just likely only see DR's.

I'd say that's the ultimate set up for the skittle

That's a real nice skittle. The red & the blue were the only 2 colors i liked on that car. It should be a very strong running car. if it's tuned right it should trap 120 no problem. I'd stay away from the DR at the track. The wheel hop is brutal. Slicks is the safest way to run these cars fast. And if your willing to upgrade the suspension you'll be able to run with some pretty heavy hitters in the twisties. I have inverted coilovers with camber plates on my car and it'll hang with Corvettes and 911s at a road course. Congrats man your going to have a lot of fun with that car.

Damn...
It's dyno tuned with the predator.

I'm not sure what all is done to it yet as far as suspension but it looks lower than stock.
IF i could have picked any color it would deff have been white. I like the Silver, blue and black. Haha, not too crazy about red, but it's something I can live with. So glad to get rid of the SS for a 4dr.

I could have gotten the EVO but it just wasn't worth the price diff between it and the Neon considering what all is done to this car. SRT has more room, lower miles, cheaper insurance (not that mine is high), better DD color, etc.

Only plus I could thing of the Evo was it was AWD.

Finally time to pick it up tomorrow. My "loan lady" is on VACA this week but she said she would leave the papers for me. I just hope they have them, I can walk in and sign them and get a check without waiting.

Stripped off my nitrous kit and went ahead and pulled the intake (let me know if you want either one Stone) left everything else on because I don't have replacements. Looking around it's nice to see this turbo can handle 450+whp. Haha, insurance will go up $5.30 a month.

BB, any particular things I should check out when I look at/drive it tomorrow? EX: like the SS/SC's IC pumps are bad at going out.

Check to see if it's hard to get into gear. Means the clutch is dead or the pivot arm is warn. If it's only hard to get into 3rd it means the 3/4 syncro is bad. common problem with these transmissions. By looking at the photos you posted, it already has an upgraded act clutch.

Yeah, it's already has an Act stage 3 clutch. As long as everything goes smooth tomorrow I will post some pics of everything. Haha, it's going to be weird actually driving something "fast". Do you know much about the AGP 50 trim? It's on 22psi now, will it need meth to raise the boost at all? I've seen people push 30 psi on that turbo and make close to 500whp. I know the shop/tuner so I will give them a call and hopefully they remember the cars info.
