It'll be interesting to see what Blake's does with his *new* motor... Hopefully he'll pull a mid 14, his car can't be that much heavier than Mike's hatch is... It would suck if he still wasn't faster than your SiR

and yes... the original DOHC neon engine was supposed to have about 170hp, and 150lb/ft. It was detuned for fuel economy, and to make it more automatic friendly(whoever suggested that should be shot)..

They put in wimpier cams, and re designed the intake manifold for a more usable torque range... Stupid maybe, but it means extra power is that much easier to come by.
