My buddy took his dodge neon srt4 to sacramento raceway (1/4 mile drag strip) this weekend. Ran a 10.7 @ 140mph. I snapped a few pics, and the vid is at the bottom. Any input, good or bad, is welcome.

I really wish the kart wasn't in the background. Unfortunately, I'm not skilled enough with PS to edit that out, so here it stays. haha If anyone wants to edit it out, you're more than welcome to

I know the focus is off in this one, but he wanted a burnout picture

Any engine pics? I'm curious of what it takes to get a neon into the 10s

The key is to select an area first. This is the overall best way that I've found for objects with hard edges: Selecting areas in PS.

haha yea. FWD definitely gets some taking used to when launching a high hp car. The tires were aired to about 10psi hot. next outting is going to be about 7-8 to see if he can cut a better 60ft and increase boost in 1st and 2nd gear.

I do have them, but am not posting them at the moment due to the owner's request. I can tell you that anything that can be done to this car, has. Built motor, built head, tranny, big cams, big turbo, two fuel pumps, proper slicks, etc.
