Re: Fast 4 cyl cars 900 1991

I don't know any exact performance figures on B230FT, but I'd be willing to put my Neon up against it. 150 HP in a 2500 lb car with a chassis set up from the factory for great handling. Stock, the DOHC Neon clocked in at 7.6 sec 0-60, and around 16.0 in the 1/4 mile (Car & Driver), I've got mine in the low 15's in the 1/4 on street tires with a couple of mods.

Great little car. Will beat many cars on the road today (most in handling), gets 35 mpg (high of 40 mpg), very reliable (80k mi so far, no problems). This summer I autocrossed it on a Sunday, went home and switched tires, and left for Montana on Monday. We put 5000 miles on it in 2 weeks, including 2200 miles in 32 hours straight (only stopping for gas).

1996 Dodge Neon, 1990 Volvo 245
