2nd best car after the neon..?

Savior00 · Post by **Savior00** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:34 am

So if any of you did not drive a neon, what car would you go with?
I sorta like the intrepid new models but they are boats to drive..compared to neons at least

What about you?

After the neon is the Stratus coupe...
But Turbo Dodges are my pick OVER the neon. So as sonn as somebody BUYS MY NEON R/T i will be converting to the turbo dodge world.

i've got an intrepid es (3.2L) and must say that it hides its girth pretty well

just one thing about intrepids, you absolutely cannot get an SE with the 2.7 because they dont get out of their own way.

I'd put money into rebuilding my conquest.

Thinking back to when I got the neon, Id probably have a '00 Silverado. But, as things work, I sould be driving a SuperDuty in a few months.

The more I drive trucks again, the more unnatural it feels in a small car.

i was almost forced into getting a early 90s sentra cause it was really cheap. thank goodness we got a good deal on my neon instead.

edit: oops

i didn't answer the question. the car i want over the neon isn't sold in the states:
alfa romeo 147 GTA... 250 HP n/a 3.2 V6 in a small hatchback (that looks better than a vw golf IMO).

or the 156 GTA. same drivetrain as the 147, but in a small sedan.

i'd probably get a PT Cruiser.. i actually might get one. when my 2gn is paid off, i get to buy somethign else. i'm torn between a 1st gen, a Ram, a Dakota, or a PT Cruiser.... right now i'm leaning towards the PT.

Get the Ram. Cummins are nice.

(Im a 4wd diesel guy at heart, so of course that would be my vote)

If you must get something small, Dak R/Ts are nice.

Its just so handy to have trucks. Sure they get worse mileage, but actually being able to haul shit, or tow shit is nice. (if you have those kinds of needs. I seem to have more of those needs than trucks, and we own three already if you count the '57. eh)

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 2:44 pm

if i find a Dakota R/T i WILL buy that. i LOVE those trucks. as for the Ram.. i do't want a Deisel.. well i do.. but Jessie doesn't liek the noise from a deisel. if i had a deisel it woudl have like a 4 inch exhsut ALL THE WAY BACK! anyways. my DREAM TRUCK woudl be the Dakota R/T or a Hemi Ram.

Here's my picks:
1. 99 Eclipse GS-T
2. 02 Dakota R/T (supercharged of course!)
3. 01 Silverado (what I originally wanted, V8 (s/c), single cab, 5-spd, dumped
4. 03 Stratus R/T w/ the Ripp supercharger

Sorry to say this but most likly a 2nd gen DSM, I have always wanted one ever since GT first came out and I could drive it. oooohhhh....
If I had the money for an Evo though... I'd get an IS300 2JZ 240hp w/o turbos.... ahhhh the high life.

My mom owns a Black PT Turbo Automatic with the quick shifter...
its prety fun to drive but I dont really like the hurse look to it.

Im considering getting a truck also...We used to own a 2000 Chevy Blazer and it was awesome...bad on gas though

)

Mopar00Neon · Post by **Mopar00Neon** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 5:43 am

Bah, fuck that. Buy a big ass truck. If you want a ram, get one. The new cummins are quiet now.

I know of a TT ram that runs 12s on straight diesel. and into the 11s on propane.

Fuck little cars.

Yea the blazer was awesome...
also about the pt turbo..first day I drove the thing I got caught doing 79km/h in a 50 zone...its trouble waiting to happen for sure

my buddy's mom has a white PT turbo, ATX... he went with them to pick it up, and he got to drive it home, he went and picked up his buddy Scott.. and within 20 minutes of driving off the lot, they got into a race, kicked some d00d's ass! i think he sadi t was a neon, that was the only reason he todl me about it.. he hates neons.. it's a nice ride though! i would have one if i did't have such a craving for speed..

JustANeon · Post by **JustANeon** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 4:47 pm

when he says he hates neons do you tell him a PT is a tall neon??

when being developed at chrysler before it had a real name it was just called the tall neon

mmmmm, yea, have fun with gas and tires on that bitch. cause you'll go through both, FAST.

Mopar00Neon · Post by **Mopar00Neon** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 5:59 pm

Bah, you dont buy a truck for gas mileage or cheap tires anyway. Especially a truck like that.

As long as I can get 8+mpg, and tires dont cost much more than $400-500 a peice, Im good to go (ah, those were the days, I miss driving the '57 every day)

*BTW, this is almost exactally like what Ill be sportin come summer time*

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:33 pm

that's nice brian.. except it's a FORD!

question, i know the PT is basically a neon in disguise... will drop coils for a neon work for a PT?

Mopar00Neon · Post by **Mopar00Neon** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:37 pm

Bah, The neon is a Dodge, and I was raised with mostly GM.

Besides, Im gunna get a pretty good deal on it. (just about $52k, if I got it as a Lariat)

As far as the suspension, I doubt it. Front might be ok, but the PT has a solid rear axle, not independent like the neon, so the rears wouldnt work at all.

TNK · Post by **TNK** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 6:48 pm

serious? fuck me.. i thought drop coils woudl work. my friend sold me a set of eibachs (the ones i have instaled) and she has a PT adn said they are the saem was what she has in her PT.... oh well.. fuggit.
