You may be one of the first of many to stop drving Neons, as they wear-out. Hopefully Neons will be fondly remembered (like the old Dodge Colts from the 70's) for a long time.



Neons have been out of production for six model years. My next daily driver will probably be a Ford Focus, or possibly the new Fiesta. Can't explain why I like them better than Civics,
Corollas, or whatever else is a popular small car.

Who told you, you needed to break it in? :/ I went WOT within 20 miles after S3 install. Doesn't hurt anything. Its like the debate of breaking in a new performance car with 0 miles. Some do it, some don't.

based on the Neon's 12.5 gallon tank = 15 mpg?

Neon never takes 12.5 gallons to fill up. Only like 8.1 for me. I got 217 miles out of 8.1 gallons. Thats city and highway driving. Not bad for a car pushing out as much power as I am.


So LSP, Go WOT yet!? I recommend slamming on it at 3k rpm in 3rd.

Have you ever run the car out of gas? 12.5 seems about right...

...have you? Mine came with a fuel gauge.

I've run it low but not actually out of gas.

No, but I have run it down to where the alarm sounds, and put about 10 gallons in

i usually get around 320+ per tank in my SRT...

How many gallons each fill-up? ... If 8+-, then you're averaging 40 mpg

Forced Performance recommended a break-in as well as the Mopar Stage 3 instructions. So I followed them. AGP recommends it on their turbos as well.

Maybe he meant 220+?

Driving 55-60, there's no reason an NSRT4 can't do more than 320 miles on a tank. Of course, I could never do that. Boost is too much fun.

Leghumping cars....mechaphilia?

I hate it when people ask that. It's fun, it's a hobby, and how many other things in life can give you the adrenaline rush that a quick car can and will. It's a whole other reaction when I mention road racing or autocross. It's usually followed by them giving me a look like a dog who just heard a strange sound.

I get that same look when I say I don't track it I show it. *shrugs* Everyone always expects that because you have a certain make/model that you will go with the crowd and do exactly what others with the same make/model do with their cars...they get really confused when that's not the case

That's why "car guys/girls" stick together. I don't expect the general public to ever improve.

no, i ment 320+ a tank lol. i have a 120 mile round trip commute to work and the SRT is my daily. I try to stay around 55-59mph. Last time i filled 10.5ish gallons and had 312miles on the odometer.

I'm right there with you lane, if anything they'll worsen with time rather than improve.

damn i havent been on here in a hot min...but LSP nah not me...but where is that video lol

No memory card for that camera....I've got nothing

lol i member u sayin that just wanted to bug ya bout the video lol

Well I definitely looked for it, I just can't find it. :\

damn that sucks...yea i lost my whole cam. so iam screwed
