What does FWD have anything to do with it? I actually passed a 240Z quite badly at Road Atlanta a few weeks ago and my car had a blown cat and a cutting in/out issue.
You really shouldn't talk crap about stuff if you know nothing about it. Especially since I've had more RWD cars than FWD and regularly drive RWD cars as well.
Cool, a riced out Neon versus a 280...lol I have a much nicer car than that, a lot more modification, and don't have a wing. Plus you're forgetting this is a road race car, not a highway mAd tyGht drag car. Both cars are slow. Get over yourself, it's just my car would still beat your sack of shit in a straight line too. LOL
I'm bored, more photos of my POS.

In 4th, you have a 1:1 transmission ratio. If you have 5th, that is OD gearing. OD is either 0.864 or 0.773. We will assume it is 0.773 to give you the benefit of the doubt. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt thinking that you have the 1980 transmission and rear end, rather than the 79, which is worse.
Stock tire size was 195/70 VR14.
If we calculate based upon that, we find that you would be running 113.7 mph at 5K rpm - and that is if you have zero wind resistance, and no coefficient of drag. You would have to do 5700 rpm to reach 130mph utilizing your OD. Your 4th gear couldn't reach 130mph at even 7K rpm.
Do you have any idea how long it would take you to reach 130mph in OD?
