Welcome to project Blue Buzz. We started with a 2000 Dodge Neon
with a 2.0L 4, 5 speed manual and not much else.
The idea we had is how fast and reliable could we make it by slinging
some traditional speed parts and know how at it. (and yes we know,
IT'S NOT A HONDA!) so far we have managed to get 37 mpg on a road
trip to the Carolina's, keep it daily driven and have ran a naturally
aspirated, non-power adder best time at the drag strip of 16.81 sec @
83.19 mph.

Keep in mind this is with no more than a tune-up, driving technique and
altering tire pressures. The car also has over 100k miles on it. Recent
modifications include a custom 2.25 inch cat-back exhaust with a
stainless steel magna-flow muffler. We chose the magna-flow as it is
fairly quiet at idle and cruising with minimal interior resonance, but it lets
you know its coming when you stomp the go pedal.
Next up is track testing, and then an intake! We'll keep you posted on
the results......
