not too bad. could be a little quicker. practice will make your shifting and launching quicker. i was able to run a 16.11 with just a k&n air filter in the stock box. keep practicing and you might get better

15s with a stock neon is very very hard. i was close kindof. a tenth is a long way to go without making extra power. you would need perfect air. and even then i dont know if its possible. nothing against trying though

as for tires. i just got 4 new yokohama avid trz's in the stock 185/60/15 size and they grip the road a million times better than the stock eagle ls's in the wet and dry. they were $53/ea from tire rack, not bad imo. they cost me $310 after mounting and balencing compared to about $380 for the eagle ls's

when i said stock neon...i have motor mounts inserts...(not too sure if they help)...if i have some BFGoogrich i could probably launch at 5000rpm and just pray for that 15's....Or i just get some falkan azines (a lil cheaper) 205/50/15 ...but trust me when i get some good rubber i'm gonna go to the track and try....cant blame me 4 trying..lata

i believe you would want 205/55/15 for a tire that is pretty much the same as stock. also 5000 is too high of a launch without slicks. 3000 or 3500 works pretty good. spinning a little is ok, but spinning a lot is bad.

when i ran a 16.3 i launched @ 4000rpm.. spun a lil too much though. If i get the falken 205/50/15 its not really 4 the track. I think they would look betta than my stock 185/60/15. My car is droped so a lil wider tires will make it look betta. My neon is blk so i'm planning on painting my stock wheels bronze and get some 205/50/15 what yall think???
