TL vs. Neon

The '04 SRT-4 Neon is even hotter than the '03...

Dodge has reportedly done a wonderful job of taming torque steer as well.

This is just another troll thread. He's throwing line out there to see who he can get another pissing contest with. He did it in the TSXForums and got banned for it, now he's here and in BMW forums doing the same thing.

I've raced TLs and Neon SRT-4s...

So I guess my post must double qualify as being legit.

look. you're not helping and it's fine. mods will move this to off-topic and then everything will be just fine. if you owned a tl and were asking about racing a neon, then it would be legit. since you are too poor to afford one, then this needs to be in off-topic.

An auto TL doesn't have all that much on a WELL DRIVEN spec V SE-R, Adam.

V- spec is an RPO/factory installed option. See, Nissan is smart enough to offer their performance package as a reasonably priced, FACTORY INSTALLED option.

How do you know he wasn't referring to a V-spec SE-R, Adam?

You like LAUGHING @ Sentras and telling people how slow they are...

look. we know a neon can beat a tl. it can surely kill your accord and it can probably give your camaro a good race. and i took what he said word for word and compared it that way. as far as laughing at sentras, i told him that he could beat it. where was i laughing at sentra's? you're an idiot. read what i wrote fucker before you try and talk shit to me.

Tough AcuraTLjaTT559...he can troll, you can defend his trolling, I can post links to other forums he distrupts so people can make their own judgement as to 1LE's motives here and the value of his claims. Gotta love a free country. Fact is, 1LE has no interest is actually discussing the good or bad points of the new TL, only slamming it and baiting TL owners into pissing contests and he's been outted for it. This isn't the only forum he trolls...do a google search and you'll see a 1/2 dozen different forums the guy trolls in. It's simply amazing how much time he devotes to it.

Of course not, just like his Slomero isn't a spec on the ass of an NSX...yet he does it for trolling sake. He doesn't own a TL. Isn't going to buy a TL...doesn't give a crap about the TL...rather is only interested in trashing it just like he did the TSX in the TSXForums.

Skeedatl,

I've given up, I figure he is going to compare the Camaro to everything from a Trek mountain bike to a Bulldozer and lives off of the arguments that ensue.

I didn't notice who created this thread, if I had, well I wouldn't have made the comment I made. i would have ignored it and considered the source.

They're both relatively high powered, front wheel drive cars that use limited slip differentials and are AT LEAST as quick as stock L78 Chevelles.

One of them is faster, suffers from less torque steer , comes with a properly tuned "sport suspension," gets superior fuel economy and costs less than two-thirds as much.

Guess which one is it.

But the "Slomero" (particularly in 1LE form) is essentially as fast as the NSX on both a drag strip and on a road racing circuit, but costs ~ 1/4 the amount (and gets BETTER mileage, seats 4, holds a lot more cargo and is far less expensive to insure).

You fail to address those realities in a mature manner.

they're 2 different cars. neon srt's compete with wrx's and the like. and harddriven, what's wrong asshole? you haven't replied to the last thing i said. can't find a fault in it, can you? with all the trolling you do, i wonder if you even own an accord? why don't you just shutup unless you have information that is relevant to a tl. quit trying to put down cars when you don't even own a car that is in the same category as a TL

Somehow I doubt that 35 year old cars are worried about it. Someday when you grow up you'll realize that cars like the TL weren't meant to be compared to cars built by anybody 35 years ago and only people with some kind of brain tumor would compare them on a daily basis and expect others to agree.

One of them is faster, suffers from less torque steer , comes with a properly tuned "sport suspension," gets superior fuel economy and costs less than two-thirds as much.

Guess which one is it.
Guess how little I care, guess how truely insignificant this is, guess what the Neon driver will be doing sitting next to a 35 year old classic, drooling is what he'll be doing and hoping someday he'll make enough to buy one because he knows the difference between the two while this obvious difference escape you.

Why doesn't everyone just ignore this pillowmuncher? Who cares what he thinks. I can name at least 20 cars that are faster than the TL and I don't know much about cars! Does that mean the TL is a piece of crap? NO.

Who cares about a Neon? that name is just so annoying that if the car cost 10K and could beat a ferrari, it's still a f*cking Neon and I'd never buy one.

What some people think of cars like the TL/ES 330/I-35. Still Accords, Camry's and Maximas no matter what u call em. Still a fucking Honda/Toyota/Nissan.
