its ok...he can't hurt her...anymore (sniff). she's in a better place now. if it were me, I think serious violence would have ensued. and my bike doesn't have nearly that much cool stuff on it. I'd have been too picky about who I sold it to. like dad on prom night. but seriously I will never sell it.

Ummm... NO.?
Please. I dont understand the appeal of 4 cyl "racers" that sound like bikes but get smoked by any stock maxima or really any good v- 6 or 8 engined car...
What is it???

Granted, I wouldn't own one but they are pretty quick. I played around with one on the highway last year with my LS2 GTO, and though it was no match, it did surprise me. It's all about power:weight.

you've clearly never seen a srt-4 then. while ugly and being a neon they're stupid fast. other 4 cylinders like the s2k **** on a maxima and many v8's. it's such a huge misconception that omg 4 cylinders are slow

oh they can and do hang and beat caddy's. stage 3 kit runs 10's and has around 500hp. that's with warranty too... there's no replacement for displacement except for when there's forced induction. they also don't sound like a hornet's nest. wow dude, you're as bad as most mullet mobile owners. You underestimate how fast a 4 cylinder car can be. OMG the sti and evo are 4 cylinders but they're SOOOO SLOW. the s2000 is one of the best handling sport cars out there too

I thing he was going for mullet sporting mobile home owner...just a guess...
there is a replacement for displacement...actually understanding the physics of a motor....
I will state that I am not a fan of the neon...in my buddies words "you cant polish a turd"...but I am a fan of the I4 motor...cant beat that f1-esque top end scream..

mullet mobile - v8 domestics like the trans am, firebird, mustang. I love the f-body but they aren't exactly built to turn from the factory. Your typical owner of one of these thinks they're the fastest things ever and think all 4 bangers are slow as crap. This is when it gets fun cause I've seen civics take out vipers, srt-4's beat vettes, etc...

I actually have a maxima. And I'd take my spacious leather 265 horse beaut over a souped up COMPACT car all day. Honda makes the civic as its cheapest, smallest, most economic car. So does Dodge with the neon. I'm not arguing that tuned fours cant be fun, or fast as hell. One of my buddys has a civic si, I've driven it.
I'm just saying they're GAY

Man, that's a cryin shame. That's all I can say. Cryin f'n Shame. The same fate came upon my old FZR 600. It got toasted over two years ago and it still makes me sick to my stomach to this day! And it wasn't nearly as tricked out as your SH. The idea that it may have just committed suicide does bring some dignity to the loss though. I feel your pain man, I feel your pain!

I don't know how fast a Neon is compared to this or that but I still would have rather heard "Thank god he wrecked his Neon instead of my SH!" any day. I'd probably say the same regardless of what that jackass' 4 wheel transpo was.

I'm gonna propose that the bike was in a depressed state cause denmah cast it out into the cold world that is a dealership and was replaced with a kawasaki. it was bound to off itself regardless of who bought it at that point

Ok, so the SRT-4 is fast. Big deal. Forced induction can do wonders... but strap the same turbo (or two, or a blower) on a V-8? Come on. Oh, and the Stage 3 has 310hp on pump gas... at the crank. Yeah, that's 10hp up on the new mustang GT, but then again the mustang doesn't look like, well, a neon.
Who cares about cages anyway. I've chased down both a Viper (quite possibly an idiot) and a 911 Carrera 4 (pretty decent driver) on the Superhawk, so who needs the extra two wheels?
Oh, and major foul, and a curse on him for looping the bike so stupendously, and not at least acting as a human frame-slider.
