the guy I met who did it didn't swap it, but he replaced a lot of internals, but I just knew the older years weren't all h22's, didn't know the new ones are

Most people like us will not make the same numbers. And, rarely, after some cars "break in" very well, they are quite faster than those numbers.

that was the point, not Motor Trend
no comment?? are you surprised??
but even so, aren't you a bit surprised after you previously said like every single car would outperform the poor neon???
their numbers are pretty consistent with what I've seen
by the way, sounds like you have a sweet ride!!
wish I could afford to do all those mods!!

I don't mind the neon having quick numbers. I know it's fast in a straight line.
I don't think most cars would outperform a car solely built to go fast in a 1/4 mile track. A lot of the cars listed in your motor trend list are very fast cars whose 1/4 mile times are in the mid-to-low 14's, but they are very reliable, have lots of features, and actually look good. Plus, like mentioned before, girls would hop right in on those other cars
