i have two general rules of thumb for you. Never race someone that says they have a surprise, it is never a good one. Second, never race a car that is in good condition and is painted with primer. That basically means they are doing their own paint job and know what they are doing, and they bought a car just to repaint it and such. That means they A. have alot of money and are building a total monster B. realized they didnt know how to paint their own car and had to stop. Having him tell you he has a surprise, and it being just primed, basically you should have been expecting a turbo or a huge shot of nitrous.

I know picking on Hondas is fun and all, but a car i'd never run is a CRX. Pretty much noone but a car modder still drives one today as it's so small and old, and it doesn't take much money to make those little buggers faster then us, faster then a GT, faster then alot of cars.

RE: dodge neon
I just finally decided to accept the fact that 4-cylinders and rice burners are becoming very fast with new technology. 4-cylinders exceeding 300HP sounds obserd (sorry for spelling) but it's so true. I hate to say it but it's true. People often put the H-22 motor in their CRX's I believe which is lighter and more powerful. V-Tech's don't put out alot of torque but tunes and turbo help ALOT! I hate to see something like this happen to muscle, but after all we have V6's. We have to put in a lot of work to make out cars kick *** but that's the whole fun of it.
