its not fair...... i would hate to get rid of my 1st gen for a srt4 but the more i look at it the better that option becomes.
my question is how much power would it take for a 1st gen to catch that car on the highway. i know we are lighter and all but that would seem to me like trying to catch a jet on a motorcycle.
has any 1st gen made that type of power?

you will NEVER be able to use 700whp on the street in a fwd car.
i dont know if any first gens have made that kind of power but im almost positive we have a hand full that will still run faster in the 1/4 than that car.
still very impressive though.

I dont think lens blue car made 772 at the last time he shared power with us, it was mid 600's with nitrous low to mid 500s without
i dont think the black car even made 772, i dont think it needed it to run the times it did,

Burning out at triple digit speeds on the highway may sound cool but results in that need for the extra pants and boxers.

Not a problem.
Radio signals travel at speed of light.
Good luck outrunning those that is if you don't wrap yourself around some immoveable object.
Contrary to popular belief, trees don't move much.

I bet it gets great gas mileage at 150 mph. They just wait till your dumbass runs out of gas, then you are screwed.

The guy is a tool. He constantly argues with Darrell Cox about how much better he is and that AMS owns DCR in every way. I'm waiting for his crank to walk right out of the bed-plate so I can laugh at him.
He won't send it down the track, he's too afraid to break something. But I doubt it would do any better than low 10's. There are a lot of first gens out there that could have his SRT for lunch. It irks me when people dish out cash and buy their way into greatness without ever lifting a finger. Its hard work and knowledge that pays off, not owning a fast car that someone else built for your rich ass.

After the 500 - 600 hp mark, how much of it is of any use? 1200hp supras are putting down very similar numbers to 800hp supras...
Still - very impressive - in terms of hp numbers.

and i really doubt he has the suspension to handle this power. my guess if he ever took it to the track it would do high 10's at about 145-150.
plus at some point you have to look at the power under the curve on this car. i cant imagine he is staying in boost after shifts. dyno queen. dont get me wrong its still impressive.

Hey I just saw this post! Yeah it's a dyno queen for sure, but the numbers are pretty impressive nonetheless. Unfortunately it takes more than just max HP to run a quick 1/4 mile time. The owner of the car isn't bragging on 1/4 mile times. He was only after big dyno numbers. My car had the same turbo on the 2.0L motor + 100 shot nitrous and ran a 152 mph trap speed in the 1/4.
I can only guesstimate around 700 HP on my car. Should be a little higher with my new build up. I'm hoping a did enough chassis and suspension mods to be able to use all of that power effectively.

well near Chicago AMS is the big name that can will tune your car right. I dont have time or the money to fly or drive my car out to florida or california to get a really good dyno tune. after a base tune on the new motor ill probably be going to AMS to have my car tuned. As far as them being better than DCR...i dont know... i dont see AMS with a fast as balls drag srt. and i dont see them making awsome parts for the srt or any other neon, so my vote goes for DCR just because they sell to us what they use, or have used in the past.

Darrell chimes in on the last post and after that they argue about AMS vs DCR. Sorry, but AMS produces Dyno Queens.. I haven't seen them put out a car that can actually perform on the track with other cars in its HP range.
Like I said, the guy is a tool.

that whole argue that is going on right now is not saying that ams is better then dcr. there u go again thinking u know everything. yeah ams hasn't designed parts like dcr has for the srt engines but they can build high hp cars just like dcr. if u want to call someone a tool call raven one, that guy ain't got a life so hes on the computer all day starting chit. the bottom line is both companies can build high hp cars. like stated on the srtforums, if another company had the backing that dcr had and the money then they too could and probably would put in the r&d and time to design newer better engine parts. ams and dcr can build some bad *a#S!d^f* cars period.

This is funny. I don't see it as an AMS vs. DCR thing at all. That would be apples and oranges all over again. Of course the car owner is going say AMS is the shizzle because they did a great job on his car. I haven't read any of the posts about it so I don't know if he was dissing DCR or not. Are there really only a couple of places in the whole US that can tune a Neon? There's way too much ignorance and ego going on if that's what people really think. I just see more people looking to create some drama so they have something to write about on the internet when they're bored at work.
It sounds like the car owner got just what he wanted from AMS, and that was big HP numbers. He should get props for having a powerful car, and AMS should get congrats for building and tuning it. I don't see how that makes DCR any less great.

Just bc you have a all out 1400hp race car doesnt mean everything you do is the BEST IN THE WORLD. Yes you do offer some good products but not the best in everything you have to offer just bc the parts got the job done for you.
I know you and AMS may not be best buds, bc you have told me this urself, but lets not make this into a arguement due to that fact.
Please feel free to take this to PM if you would like.

But you had to be childish and ignore my calls or messages and not fess up like a man on how you couldnt pull through. I had to have Aaronneon come through and tell me his self you talked out your ass!
Why did you ignore my questions?
This is so stupid this thread has came to this. Darrell I honestly thought u where a lil better then this, but I should have listened to people on how you really are. This also proves that is *a#S!d^f* on what you said how you change ur business practices and customer service to all your customers, bc u obviously have a problem with me for no valid reason.
You have a problem with me only bc I said you cant compare your head to AMS and say urs is better. Then I see ur lil mad bc I didnt want to go with ur strap kit. This is my car and I make the choices on what I want for it. aaronneon@RealTune wrote: Hey now. I dont think this is cool that you brought me up in this. I never said Darrell was talking out of his ass. You cant blame him that the manifold wasnt done. Also the welds WERE never an issue on the manifolds and the fitment is SUPER tight so it was a task to get it just right. Hence why there isnt anyone else out there thats makes a direct fit. Besides they are done finally anyhow. And just to set the record straight, Darrell was told not to send you a manifold at this time. It wasnt anything against you...but there were ALOT of rumors that AMS was going to be making a manifold for the car. This has since been proven wrong, but I cant blame Darrell for being worried about sending you a manifold before anyone else, just to have it copied...or ideas taken from. Now I am not saying that would have happened, but you have to be cautious in this game. Im also alittle upset that you guys are fighting about this. Chris we bent over backwards to help you get your parts to fix your car. Which without Darrell...you most likely wouldnt have EVER done. AMS had months to fix it and didnt. You fockers need to knock this *a#S!d^f* off right now. Its *a#S!d^f* 4U2NV wrote: Aaron I didnt bring ur name into this as in a bad way but clearly to show the fact that he was talking out his ass. I understand your guys relationship but Darrell should not have told me he was going to send me a mani out that week and have it overnighted if he knew they where not done.
I also say that is *a#S!d^f* on what ur saying why he didnt send me one. AMS is way better then that, to copy someone elses work. I found out from a guy at his own shop that week he said he was going to send it while he was in Cali that the intake manifold wleds on the inside where to thin and the fitment was still way off. Bc I was seeing what was really going on with this thing. This was after Darrell seemed to ignore my calls and messages.
I never had any beef with Darrell nor do I now. But this really *a#S!d^f* me off when he started to fling *a#S!d^f* my way for no damn reason. It really does bring out his past business skills and how he hasnt changed one bit like he said he has esspecially with the manifold deal.
... You're right, Mike. There was NO discussion of AMS vs DCR anywhere in that thread, and I don't have any clue what I'm talking about, although its kinda hard to 'act' when you're only reading whats right in front of your face. The arguement might not be about DCR vs AMS NOW, and it may not have been from the mouths of those people themselves, but there was heavy debate about DCR vs AMS in that thread. I know you've read it, because I see you've posted in it.
Btw, yes Raven is a tool as well. Chris is also, but not because of the fact he argued with Darrell. I just think some of the decisions he has made recently weren't the brightest, and some form of failure is almost completely immnent. He is ignoring the advice of those 'more informed' only to do what he wants and prove to others he can do it. If someone told you to use a bungie cord when jumping off of the bridge, would you honestly say "no, this rope will be fine".
Yes, AMS and DCR can both build badass cars, but there's a difference between a dyno queen and a trailer queen. High HP numbers mean nothing unless you know how to put it to the ground, you should know that as much as anyone else. Anyone with money and knowledge can build a high HP engine and throw it on an engine dyno for impressive numbers. The guys that go the extra step and put it into a car heavily modified to put those numbers to the pavement are the real heroes.
Not trying to say you're wrong, Mike, and I'm not trying to say I'm right. We obviously have different viewpoints on the matter so I can't argue with you about what you got out of it..

I know it is...but really, I mean it's like the people on here have nothing better to do than compete and argue over stuff as well as tell you how much they can get parts that you are trying to sell for...it's really annoying and uneccessary...just my thoughts anyway.

Dc is the "only" one who produces parts time and time again! to me he is keeping the aftermarket/custom parts alive for the srt 4! I don't see anyone else who puts so much into what he produces,testing etc..
as far as ams head being better thats a Gotta be a joke! 4u2nv's car is no slouch don't get me wrong,good build on ams part. but everything dc has to offer is 10 steps ahead of everyone else. Dcr FTMFW period!
riddle me this how many ams built srt 4's are running around compared to dcr built srt 4's

If they specialised in SRTs.. they might have one.
They have 2 evo's at 1000 HP, one is a 2.0

i really dont think the car will be a dyno queen only. i will be able to net low 10 second passes. pablo was able to pilot 600some odd horse power with stock rear suspension to a 10.8 at 132.
