Nice!!!!!!!!
Sometime next spring after I put either a second turbo or Nitrous in my Neon we might have to hook up once and try our rides out against each other. I think it could be a good race

That Neon sounds like a monster car, even with the NOS. i'd like to see it run.

Mid -11s is probably what I'd run with my Viper. Good drivers with the same mods as me are all pretty much getting 10.7s at 131 or better.
Your Neon reminds me of my formerly fastest car, a 1970 Duster 340 (also later bought my mom's 1971 Duster 340). It was sort of like your Neon. A light weight economy car with a monster engine in it. I could run with the big blocks of the day 440s, 454s, 428s and beat most of them due to the much lighter weight of the Duster body.

Thats why I went with the Neon, was gonna use a Stratus but they weigh to much. Will never forget my old Nova though for it being a Heavy 4 dr and the oversize tires I still got that thing into low 13's. I also tried a Barracuda and a Charger and low 13's was as fast as I could get. Granted I have more money in just the Motor of the Neon alone then I had in the Cuda AND the Charger combined. but as it is currently running 12.50's that is tight, even beat me a Viper *LOL* So you think after I sink anoughter $4000 into my Neon we would have a close race???

My Viper weighs about 3500 pounds & I weigh about 310 piunds = 3810 pounds. I also have about 700 ft/lbs of torque, which will make for traction problems even with the Viper's huge rear tires.
I make between 657 and 675 horsepower, depending on how well the MSD boost retard box and the Roe VEC1 can tune my car. In a few years I'll probably upgrade it for about $2000 and get 700 HP & 750 torque.
We'd probably have a close race now, and if you're good at shifting, you'd probably beat me with that 2nd turbo. I don't run my Viper very hard, so I don't have experience with controlling the power of it under race conditions. Before the supercharger and at part throttle shifting at only 4000 RPM, I had no problem on good clean dry roads laying rubber in 5 gears. Those that already have the Roe Supercharger have reported that it lays rubber big time even at 70 MPH to over 100 MPH.
It will be fun to meet & check out each other's car in the spring.

I only let myself and my Viper Tech drive my snake. My 18 year old daughter is also allowed to drive it, but she wisely says she is not ready to drive it yet.
But I will be happy to take you on a ride in it this spring. :D
Bring a roll of toilet paper and a change of underwear!

Sun I built my neon strictly for raceing and street use so when it comes to shifting after I put my short throw shifter in I am almost lightning quick on it. I am like you the only other person to drive my Neon is my wife.(and she prefers not to unless crusing along the highway) My Neon sets at 303FWHP and 351ftlbs tourqe
