BadAss 2.4L Neon or BadAss 2.4L Z ???

[supercrackerbox]

Ummm duh. ZZZZZZZZeeeeeeeeeeee!

Neons are for girls!

What he said!

[Skibbe]

Neon = PL body, part P body, part L-body. If a Charger and a Shadow were welded together it would look more like a Daytona than a Neon if you rubbed your eyes really hard and squinted. Thus P+L = G. So based on this logic, I say go with the Daytona, do the math it works out every time.

I think you just proved PL=G, so either choice would be the same?

I am going to have to say neon just because it is so much lighter. I am an omni guy though, so perhaps that is why I always go for light weight.

...nepending on what trans you would use in the Z.

If you want more of a one of a kind car go w/ the Z. If its not going to be an all out drag car that you are going for a specific class then it just depends on what looks better(the Z) and how they ride/feel.

Whats your Z weigh??

It is going to be a 5-speed no matter what it goes in... probably A568/523 long gear hybrid.

It is going to be a street car set up for street driveability and drag racing.

The Z weighs ~ 2535lbs with the 10 pt cage and with the current 2.2L setup (before lightening) w/o me (200lbs more) in it last summer at Topeka.

Put the 2.4 in the Z and the shadow can be the 8v test car. Hell the shadow is already an 8v test car, its testing how long lw rods will last.

LOL, I cross my fingers every pass in the Shadow!

[ShadowFromHell]

Id put it in the Z... Swap the Z motor into the shadow... and then the 8v shadow motor into the neon...

[BadAssPerformance]

Give me the motor in the Z so you have a place for the new one.

Well, the Z kinda needs a new motor right now...

speed holes!

[BadAssPerformance]

Wow... it's looking like the Z is leading the votes.

[Speedeuphoria]

I bet if you put the poll on neons.org the results will be just the opposite

[BadAssPerformance]

Not exactly...

Maybe he had a premonition

I say leave the 2.4 where it lies
Personally.... My mom's first brand new car ever was a 95 Neon Expresso.(god how I hate that name!)

Dang, your Z is ultra light for what it is. That car weighs less than my SVO did and those things are considered really light. 2800 lbs give or take w/o driver. I will have to go to the scales when I get my charger going.. Neons DON'T take crashes well compaired to a daytona.. Its the last thing you want to have happen but its true..

Was that after the block was lightened?

I would not say it is "ultra light"... it started life at ~3000 lbs. Now with no heater or A/C, gutted dash board, fuel cell instead of tank, manual steering rack... etc.

LOL, before, it is lighter now!
