hey guys hows it going. i was browsing some forum the other day when i stumbled across this post.

this guy has a 1996 dodge neon stock. and he claims he can take a 95 mb c280..these r his words..
"
ya its a neon stock, no modifications http://mahjoob.com/en/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif , 200 000 kilometers on it,
frankly, dodge says it does 0-60 in 8.8 s, my best time was 9.5 , but that was before we replaced the clutch, so i think i can shave half a sec from that time, about the 1/4 mile it doesnt do good now since it needs a timing belt to be replaced, but it will do quite good,

look x-5junkie, i will tell u why i will win http://mahjoob.com/en/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif i did my HW
ur car has a 2.8 liter engine 190 hp, with peak torque at 4000 rpm (207 lb)
its a 5 speed manual, and weighs 1418 + 75(driver) + 50 (tank) = 1543 kg
its claimed that it does 0-60 in 7 sec, u have power/weight ratio = 0.123

mine, is a 2.0 litre, 132 hp, and peak torque 130 at 5000 rpm, bad, i know http://mahjoob.com/en/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif but, it weighs 1122 + 80(driver) + 8(tank ;) ) = 1211 when we will race, i will take the back seat with the passenger seat with the spare and the junk in the back including the speakers, so it 50 kg lighter, and i will take the air filter out and the intake hose, and i will use the jordanian 95 octan fuel mixed with a substance that will make it 99 octane, i will reprogram the ICU (advance spark) for this race only, all of this will add 25 hp and 30 lb torque, so, my power/weight ratio = 0.135, i will fit my friends 205 tyres instead of our 195, and i will use a special technique that will give me best traction at take off , anyways, it will win http://mahjoob.com/en/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif dont u think ?"

end.

what do yall think.

what in THE hell just happened here?

I feel dumber for having read that....

buahaha im going to link this page to his thread and let him read the replies.:D

and THAT is his answer

edit: 25 hp increase? buahaha and 30ibs of torque.

oh humanity lol

:(:(:( sad... but im sure that extra centimeter on the front tires will really TAME the vicious 130 ft/lbs torque. and at least they wont get a racing ticket if their cars top out at the speed limit

hes 80 lbs? can you say anorexia?

hes 80 lbs?

pretty sure thats kg's, but i wouldnt put it out of the question

I feel dumber for having read that....

yea me too :help

soo uh, isn't it possible that the bimmer could do the same thing that the neon is doin'? bimmer wins either way.

after quoting u for him he said he meant with whatever he posted up..hell deff win:D ...the c280 has to b stock and he has to change the timing belt and the rest of the stuff he mentioned..gas and weight and whatever..he said the addition of a 25 hp and 30 lb of torque is a result of all of his mechanical and whatever-ical work he has done. so there is absoltely no arguing about it. the neon wins hands down uless someone else provides solid proofs of his errors:D and then he threw his mechanical engineering sophmore line in our faces to add credit to his statements.

i guess thats it. im selling my cars and getting several neons for me and the family.


electrical engineering FTW

and i will take the air filter out and the intake hose, and i will use the jordanian 95 octan fuel mixed with a substance that will make it 99 octane,

what do yall think.

Well that seems like a good idea :lol

wtf is jordanian 95 octane fuel i got to get me some

are some people really that dumb?? I myself also feel dumber now having read it.

I feel dumber for having read that....


Im glad i scrolled down alittle and saw this one..... fffeeww!! hahahaha

I feel dumber for having read that....

+1

hahhahaha

crzy

Well that seems like a good idea :lol

wtf is jordanian 95 octane fuel i got to get me some

a middle eastern lower quality fuel, hence why he wants to add that substance that would transform it to 99 octane, which is very strange given that they r the oil springs of the universe.
