there's some fail in this thread...and not just the dumb fool who took three friends for a 153 mph ride.
Yes, cars have never been faster. My last 4 cylinder car could exceed 160 mph stock.

the 4 bangers today can be made pretty fast. I have a buddy that has a honda crx 90's model I think... well his car has one of the newer v tech motors in it and it will out run my vette pretty easy. Pretty quick little car, but I still dont like it I have always been a v8 guy. There is nothing like the sound of a v8.
That guy in the SRT was lucky that he didnt kill someone

I don't ever see all the high performance stuff they say it has when I see that car. All I see is a Dodge Neon. A car that was designed to get Grandma to church and bingo on Saturday night.
Neons were never built strong enough to be muscle cars. They'll be toss away cars when they reach about five years old. Trust me.
