Ya i was out today in the miata. On the way to work some guy in a GTO decides he going to try and pass me. We where both already doing 80 on the highway. Popped it into fourth and we were literally dead even till the top of 5th. Maybe 120ish? I kept looking over and laughing during the pull. He was so pissed. I immediately slowed down to 65 and he felt it necessary to carry his speed but the deed was already done. Not bad for a 1.6L. I would think a v8 would be able to pull easily up top like that.
I liked the automatic best. The gearing felt great. I punched it and went sideways all the way through first, and fish tailed in second. And after 75 is when it cam alive. It just kept geting faster. I ran it up to 140 and it still seemed to be getting faster on acceleration. I had alot of RPM'S left too.
For out of the box turn key factory, I was very impressed. And it still gets good MPG.
When my girl gets out of school. That may be my next daily driver.

Last week at the drag strip I saw something that blew my mind. I saw a Neon SRT 4 with a HUGE intercooler. So I'm like "whatever" this guy will probably run like a 14.7 like everyother neon that shows up. BTW, I hate Neon SRT4's. Driving something front wheel drive with 4 doors is against my religion. But anyway...this big intercooled Burnt Orange Neon went 12.0 in the quarter mile. Every shift he made it backfired so loud you woulda thought he threw a 1/2 stick of dynamite out of the car. I think it had some Nitrous on it. But DAMN! 12 seconds flat at 117MPH!
and the backblast is typical of all SRT4s, but those with free-flowing exhausts and especially the catless ones will be very loud on decel/shift.

400whp is a bit more than they put down stock. A 5.7l will probably put down 300rwhp and a 6.0l will put down 330-340whp. They weigh in at 3800+lbs without a driver or anything else in them. 250whp in a NA is actually probably enough power to pull a stock one on the highway. I know I saw on one of the forums here someone else with a very similar setup was trapping 108-109+mph. The GTO MIGHT trap 108 if it is a LS2 car.
