You are a pathetic asshat, keep your over-weight boat anchor of a car if it makes you happy.

Also why do you think it's NOT a race car?

Its a stock Neon. Technically, any car you enter in a race is a racecar, but lets be realistic - that car is a stock Neon, with some stickers.
There are two class for almost 30 showroom stock production vehicles, so technically, lots of stock cars can be "racecars" using those terms.

The STU (World Challenge Touring Car based) target performance is 250 hp - how are you even mid-pack in that class? Unless you added FI to the car, it doesn't seem like it would be even close to running mid-pack.
I could see you running in Showroom Stock C as long as your car is not older than 12 years old, or H Production if it is older than 12 years.

It's not stock, it's modified beyond its Showroom Stock days.

If every car was 250HP that ran STU then you're right it wouldn't be mid pack. Did I say mid pack in STU though or ITA? H Production requires a lot more modification, more than STU in fact, so that makes no sense. Why are you leaving out Improved Touring which Neons do very well in? It can't run SSC anymore, it's a 97 and like I said, I'd have to put it back stock and that would be a waste of time.

Either way, a 10HP race car is a race car just as much as a 850HP car is a race car. It was built with one purpose and that is to race.

I don't get why this is such a problem to you all? I bought it because I got a KILLER deal on it, it's exactly what I was looking for to fit my wallet, it's a blast to drive, and it's CHEAP to fix, a whole other Neon is what $400? lol I'm not bragging that I own a race car, obviously it's not as cool as a GT car or something, obviously it's not as fast, obviously it's not as die hard. If I wanted to impress I sure as hell wouldn't buy a Neon. It's what I want. Plus it's not the only car I can drive either, but there is a plus in owning a race car versus renting.

I agree there's nothing special about Neons, but ACRs deserve some respect, not because I own one or anything like that, but Dodge gets kudos in my book for caring outside of the box (NASCAR). I also disagree my car is one of the biggest pieces of shit on the site, it's a very well rounded car that is fun to drive. It's all brand new except for the body and paint. lol

Your car was not built to be a racecar - it was simply a street car that parts were left out of and marketed to those looking for a cheap way to enter SCCA. and that is fine. Most racecars that start off as street cars are just the same. But the fact remains that your chassis and suspension was not specifically engineered to be a racecar.
There is a big difference between an engineered 850bhp race car and a street car that has changed its intake, exhaust, coilovers, and brake pads - and still doesn't make 150rwhp. The cars in ITA appear to be either Neons, or 20 year old 100bhp cars. Of course, if you are running against a 25 year old 2002/RX7/Civic/etc with only 2/3s the hp that you have, you will have the advantage. If you are only running mid-pack with them, you are simply out doing a track day.
Now, I understand it is fun, and you like the car, that is fine. But you have been saying that a 240 with 400hp is rice, and a poor car, when in reality, the 240 appears to have a lot more going for it than a pretty much stock Neon. With an equal driver, it will lay down better laptimes on RA than your racecar will.
And yes, you can race a Neon for a lot less than renting a racecar. I understand that, and agree that it is a good starter platform for SCCA racing. I'm not saying that it is a bad car. I just don't see where you have the grounds to be dogging on another person's car like you have been.
Now, if you just don't like the driver, that's a different story.

Actually, the Neon was designed by Chrysler to be a track car. The design team was approached to create a vehicle that could compete in a road course race scenario. Hence why the car was "cheaply" made. The all plastic interior that just snaps off, the rarely any power options and in the case of the ACR, race ready components. It was the best performing car in it's class for several years....and this included the highly coveted (<---- I made a funny) Honda Civic of the same years. Later, QD.

It was the best performing car in it's class for several years....and this included the highly coveted (<---- I made a funny) Honda Civic of the same years. Later, QD.

Actually, according to Chrysler, it was designed to be an internationally sold compact FWD, and reintroduce the Chrysler name to Australia, where they had not sold any cars since '81. It was a replacement to the Duster and Sundance also in North America. We all know that compacts are designed to be cheap, and the pencil pushers look to limit costs in the whole process. That's not how you design a racecar.
They couldn't sell enough cars to SCCA member to warrant designing different geometry for a car for track use. How many ACRs do you think they sold in the 1st gens? Not enough to warrant production of a coplete line of cars, for certain.
It was the best performing car in a limited, controlled class - but that was done with factory bolt-ons, like suspension, and different transmission ratios. The interior for all of the Dodges back then were cheap plastic clip-on interiors. I've taken out lots of them.

There is nothing wrong with the Neon. I think that it is more impressive that as a true street car, it clearly outclassed its competitors in performance, but the truth is that the ACR was really a base Neon without the sound deadening, ABS, etc, and a slightly upgraded suspension/brake setup. The chassis was still a street car, not a engineered race car.
Even more impressive is that it absolutely demolished its competition in bang for the buck with more horsepower than any of its rivals - by a good bit. Granted, they copied Mitsu's motor, but it worked.

The real question is why is Simon berating a 240 when it outperforms his own car at his own type of racing?

Now, if you just don't like the driver, that's a different story.

I know IT is regional, what does that matter? I never said I preferred to run national over regional. STU is also a way for IT cars to run at national events. There were actually quite a few ITA cars running STU at the Runoffs this year.

The ACR was built to be a race car. There is a reason it came stock with race suspension and the first ones released you had to be an SCCA member to buy one. The ACR is an icon in the road racing world, it pissed a lot of people off in its time.

As for IT being slow, that's not true at all. An ITA Miata ran a 1:40 at this past ARRC at Road Atlanta. ITA is a very competitive class, it's also not a bunch of old cars running. ITA consits of ACR Neons, GSRs, Miatas, Civic SIs, SE-R Sentras and NX2000, etc. Like I said, a 1:40 is not slow.

Like I said, the 240 owner came in here when and completely acted a dick. For no reason and accused me of claiming things that I don't. I've complimented his car before, it doesn't even look bad, but he came in here being clueless. As for him around the track and I, you seem pretty sure he can out run me, I highly doubt it. He doesn't do road course events and HP isn't all that matters, the only place HP matters at Road Atlanta is the back straight and front straight, which both are long yeah and a good driver in a fast car easily gets by, but.....


For sinfix and simmon,sinfix why don't you two go at it on two different tracks get your 240 prepared for what simmon likes to do(road racing) see who comes out on top,then go to the 1/4 miles track and see who comes out on top..
And if you all are not satisfied with the outcome, we will go back to the drawing board..you all may not care about this post at all, just throwing it out there haha

Who has a faster car has not been the discussion of this thread. lol He would rape me at a drag strip. Nobody can argue that.

Actually, according to Chrysler, it was designed to be an internationally sold compact FWD, and reintroduce the Chrysler name to Australia, where they had not sold any cars since '81. It was a replacement to the Duster and Sundance also in North America. We all know that compacts are designed to be cheap, and the pencil pushers look to limit costs in the whole process. That's not how you design a racecar.
They couldn't sell enough cars to SCCA member to warrant designing different geometry for a car for track use. How many ACRs do you think they sold in the 1st gens? Not enough to warrant production of a coplete line of cars, for certain.
It was the best performing car in a limited, controlled class - but that was done with factory bolt-ons, like suspension, and different transmission ratios. The interior for all of the Dodges back then were cheap plastic clip-on interiors. I've taken out lots of them.

There is nothing wrong with the Neon. I think that it is more impressive that as a true street car, it clearly outclassed its competitors in performance, but the truth is that the ACR was really a base Neon without the sound deadening, ABS, etc, and a slightly upgraded suspension/brake setup. The chassis was still a street car, not a engineered race car.
Even more impressive is that it absolutely demolished its competition in bang for the buck with more horsepower than any of its rivals - by a good bit. Granted, they copied Mitsu's motor, but it worked.

The real question is why is Simon berating a 240 when it outperforms his own car at his own type of racing?

Yeah, the actual chassis wasn't any different. It came stock with adjustable Konis and what not though and other Mopar options. This car isn't just a stock ACR either though. The point is it was built to run SCCA SS racing and to win, which it did. Dodge even made the "Neon Challenge" series which was a semi-pro series that ran at pro events as a support series with factory Dodge support. This car also raced in that very competitively. The car has a shit load of history and that's another reason I was happy to buy it.

Like I said, a 50HP race car and a 800HP race car are both race cars. There is no better way to showcase a new car than racing it. Mazda and Honda have both announced a new series with Fits and Mazda 2s, I guess those aren't real race cars either.

I know IT is regional, what does that matter? I never said I preferred to run national over regional. STU is also a way for IT cars to run at national events. There were actually quite a few ITA cars running STU at the Runoffs this year.

The ACR was built to be a race car. There is a reason it came stock with race suspension and the first ones released you had to be an SCCA member to buy one. The ACR is an icon in the road racing world, it pissed a lot of people off in its time.

When it was originally released, it came with non-adjustables - basically an upgraded shock. Just add bigger swaybars, and that makes a racecar? If that's the case, then 90% of these ricers that you have been campaigning against have racecars on the street also. Like I said, I have nothing against the car, but was merely pointing out that it is not any better than a 240.

I think that you have now clarifed that you just don't like the owner of THAT car. You made a lot of derogatory comments about the car earlier, when you should have targetted the person that you didn't like.

Let me be clear - his car and your car - with equal drivers - his should be faster around the track. It is very easy for prep his car for a road course, so you cannot assume that it would come out on drag springs, slicks and skinnies, etc.

Now, to be clear, I do not know either of your skill levels, and I would assume (again my assumption only), that you would be faster around most tracks, with more seat time. However, a driver who does not hold the same track speed could utilize the additional power to slow you down to their lap times by parking you. I'm not saying that Sinfix could do it, but there are a lot of drivers who could. Now a small track, there would be very little question to it, as the Neon would excel at slower speeds with tight corners.

All I'm saying is the ACR came out to be a race car, it performed VERY well on skid pad tests and what not, it wasn't just different sway bars either. In my opinion a stock ACR is 20x better than a stock 240. The 240 wasn't made to be a performance car, Neons at least had it in mind. I've driven a CRAP LOAD of 240s and they can handle well yes, but they don't feel solid and I've yet to of been passed by one at the track, SR and all. The point is my car is a race car, whether you consider a car that isn't tube framed or built to shit to be or not, it's a race car. It was never a street car.

With equal drivers you're right, his probably would be faster around a fast track. However there aren't equal drivers and we're discussing real world situations even though it's pointless. I don't really care who has a faster car. Everyone was just getting mad that I said my car is a race car because it doesn't have a crap load of HP. This isn't drag racing where there is some sort of violent bench racing, I enjoy what I do, I don't care if this car wins, it's purely fun.

A 150 hp street car is nothing like an 800hp engineered racecar. If you think they are, you haven't driven a race car.

Modern cars that top out at 115-120mph, and no different from their street counterparts, are not racecars to me. Just because you take a car on a track does not turn it into a racecar. Just like if you take a tube chassis car, and put lights and a tag on it, doesn't make it a street car.

Well we're going to just have to disagree then. What I get from what you're saying is that a car modified to be a race car isn't a race car. In this case, the ACR Neon was modified to a start to be a race car. I'm saying this particular car, started life from the dealer, went to get a cage, and has raced sense. The fact that it has road racing logbooks and what not makes it a race car, simple as that.

I've driven purpose built race cars and of course there is a difference. I'm saying though to me a race car is a race car. If it can legally compete in a wheel to wheel race then it is a race car. It doesn't matter if it goes 10mph, it's still a race car. I am very open minded when it comes to my definition of a race car and I've seen just about any type of car you can think of racing, maybe that's why I disagree what what you're saying.

Who have I called a ricer? The 240 guy just to piss him off. Like I said though, if I bought a Civic, put a full cage, fire system, seat, harness, etc. Chose a class, did some work, got a logbook for it, then yes, it very well IS a race car. The only reason I keep saying is the ACR wasn't a street car or was built to be a race car is that it WAS, I didn't buy an ACR and turn it into a race car. I'm speaking of my car in this situation.

As for the A/C thing, I don't know what the ACR could or couldn't come with, like I said I don't know much about Neons, I bought it because it was ready to race, not because I like Neons. lol I do know this one doesn't have A/C though. I also know most race cars these days in larger series DO have A/C, just not the factory installed type.

If you have a Showroom Stock ACR which is a basically stock car and it turns the same laps as a street ACR, the SS ACR is still a race car. Why? It's legal to race. THAT is my definition of what a race car is, if it races, it's a race car.

We definitely disagree, as that definition puts every street car that ever rolled off the line as a racecar, if it runs just once.
By that definition, any car that is on track in a race - even just once - is a race car. Basically, a bonestock VW diesel that enters a bracket race on Saturday afternoon at Commerce, is still a race car. Even though it would do 22-23 seconds.
Any stock Kia that is entered in a track day event that participates in a lunch time race would be a racecar.
A lawnmower could be considered a race car if it was on a track even - and only doing your 10mph.

To me, those are just street cars that are being enjoyed, but not race cars. As an example, my old RX7 (GSL-SE, not the FD) was caged, built suspension, motor, etc, and I did not consider it to be a racecar. It was just a street car that saw some occasional track time.

Ultimately, as long as you enjoy the car, that is all that matters though. If you want to consider it to be a racecar, that is up to you.

Cars first were first built as luxury transportation and then raced. For me, the history of automobile racing says that you can buy a car from the factory and race it. And so, it becomes a racing car.

And what about Touring Car races? They're not race cars? They're production cars with bolt ons (in some cases) and they're racing around a track... so what does that make them?

There are even showroom stock classes that run stock cars of the same make. Purpose built race cars are definitely more impressive, but they're not the only race car.

I think the definition of a race car depends on whether or not you ACTUALLY REGULARLY use it as a racing vehicle. I think if a purpose built race car were left in a showroom or a museum it's entire life it kind of negates the fact that it is honestly a race car. But that's hard to distinguish and I really don't want to piss anyone off.

How a car is primarily used defines what it is.

Drag racing and road racing...HUGE difference. I'm ONLY talking about road course cars. Did your RX-7 have a logbook? If not, then of course it wasn't a race car. Time trials is not racing. I'm talking about RACING, wheel to wheel racing, not against the clock. As those are all competitive forms of motorsport, there is a difference there. Just about anyone can bring anything and do drag racing or time trials.

The difference in your RX-7 and my car is that my car was built to be a race car, that was its sole purpose in life, nothing more. It has everything needed to race, it's been raced, that's all there is to it.

I would slightly disagree with time trials not being a form of racing. Directly....no it's not in the fact that you are racing against a clock, an inanimate object that can't compete against you. Indirectly, in the sense, that you are trying to keep a better time than someone else therefore making it a "race". The terms "race" and "racing" are used loosely and can mean several things. IMO, if you are using a car in a competitive sport against another individual, yourself, or a machine....it is considered "racing".

Bottom line: Simon's car was built with a purpose in mind and that was to be a track car. I will assume that Sinfix's 240 was built as an all around good vehicle that can serve several functions.

I agree, I mainly meant that a time trials car doesn't usually have to be prepared the same as a road racing car. In my opinion if your car is required to have all of that safety equipment and be scrutinized and be issued a competition logbook than it is a race car. Some time trial events don't even require a roll bar.

I've owned a 240SX for one thing and use to be a huge 240 fanboy until I spent more time working on them than I did driving them. You really make yourself seem ignorant, you turn internet fun into what you're imagining to be serious business. Go to school or something. lol

So because you bought a pos special edition neon that had the interior stripped out of it (propbably because it smelled like a bar from the hooker that owned it before you.) and then had someone put you in a roll cage that makes it an awesome race car?



Damn what would a 240sx with a stripped interior and a cage be? An F1 car?

Did you read any of this?

The car I bought was never a street car. It was bought from Dodge in 1997 (not by me) and turned right into a race car. It won a divisional championship in 1998 in SSC, it raced in the Neon Challenge series (semi-pro), enduros, etc. It has a bit of history, including quite a few well known drivers driving it, wins, being in Autoweek, a Canadian postage stamp, etc. I bought it from a guy who bought it and had it sitting in his works garage at Road Atlanta and needed it gone, I got a killer deal on it, it was cheap and ready to go. So I did not build this car, it wasn't a hooker fucking street car, and it doesn't just have a roll cage in it for me to call it a race car.

Having driven a few caged stripped 240s, no, it's a decent handling car. Depending on suspension.

I have more reality than you because I'm a very open minded individual, you don't read anything in here or even know what an ACR is.

No, I bought the car basically as it is, in fact most of the interior was still in because it was last raced in SSC which required full interior, even carpet. The only reason I took it out was to weld the cage plates in and fix some wiring that I needed to work with for the kill switch. Plus there is no point in having carpet in a track car. Still has door panels too. Buying an already built and worked out race car is SOOOOO much better than building your own and usually a LOT cheaper.

As for my A/C not working, it doesn't have A/C. Nice try though 280ZX kiddo.

In the track community, which is quite large and would take up well more than the 10% left in the world that you alluded would like the car, the Neon (especially the ACR) is quite a respected automobile.

You really just don't have a clue what I'm saying. Pikes Peak isn't the same as regular time trials either, it requires road race prep.
You need a bit more than that but yeah if you did it all it would be a race car.
Well then we will all just disagree. I'm not even talking about drag racing anywhere in here, I have NO interest in drag racing, it's not my thing. I'm mainly talking about car prep. and what it takes to race it on a road course.

My points are that it doesn't have to be road racing to be racing.
Just because you prep a car to run in a class, does not convert it automatically to be a racecar. You can run a street car.
Drag racing takes the same car prep, just based on how fast you are. Your DD is already qualified to drag, as is the Neon. Neither is fast enough for the need for a cage.

I agree with most. I'm just saying in this case, although I don't even remember what we're arguing about, my car is a race car because it was bought to be a race car, it's been a race car, it's prepped as a race car, etc. Speed doesn't make a race car a race car in MY opinion.

I was only hating on modified 240s to piss him off since he came in acting holier than holy. Anyone that knows me knows I have nothing against nice 240s, like I said, I even complimented him in another thread a while back. I could care less what car is what, if it's cool I like it. The only negative I do think about 240s is usually they don't make the best road race cars, not saying an ACR is better, I'm just saying there aren't that many successful ones. I don't actually have anything against 240s though, except for the amount of time I've spent working on them. lol

Thanks, man. I love my Shelby's.


ur giving him props cause he drives an old and busted old school car. now im not hating or anything like it cause i like old school to but not his pieces of shit.

I never gave the dude props on anything. I just stated that I'd drive that wagon over Sinfix's 240, Simon's ACR and your Integra. You think they're pieces of shit. Now who are you again?

I think it's funny when someone makes another angry (over the Internet of all things) the only thing the mad person can do is call the offender's car a POS. I've had so many people love my car but turn around and call it a POS ONLY because they don't like me. Doesn't make sense. Of course a lot of "arguments" by the younger people don't make sense.

All I'm saying is the ACR came out to be a race car, it performed VERY well on skid pad tests and what not, it wasn't just different sway bars either. In my opinion a stock ACR is 20x better than a stock 240. The 240 wasn't made to be a performance car, Neons at least had it in mind. I've driven a CRAP LOAD of 240s and they can handle well yes, but they don't feel solid and I've yet to of been passed by one at the track, SR and all. The point is my car is a race car, whether you consider a car that isn't tube framed or built to shit to be or not, it's a race car. It was never a street car.

With equal drivers you're right, his probably would be faster around a fast track. However there aren't equal drivers and we're discussing real world situations even though it's pointless. I don't really care who has a faster car. Everyone was just getting mad that I said my car is a race car because it doesn't have a crap load of HP. This isn't drag racing where there is some sort of violent bench racing, I enjoy what I do, I don't care if this car wins, it's purely fun.

240s are RWD with IRS, factory coilovers and interchange parts with the skyline becuase they were NOT built with performance in mind. Neons though......................

pretty clear Nissan never imagined a 240sx taking a turn above the speed limit. That's why they come with 7 cup holders and an extra grocery compartment. Wonder what the engineer had in mind when they did this

ACR sedans came with the SOHC.

From what I've been told from other ACR road race cars the SOHC holds up to more abuse and isn't really any slower than the DOHC that came in ACR coupes. Like I said though I don't know much about Neons. I didn't even know the difference in the ACR and a regular Neon until after I bought the car.
