The integra you could beat, I've beaten plenty of them it's a very close race though I'll tell you that much, pretty much comes down to driver. The neon I got beat by a 2002 I believe but not by much, also the road we were racing on sucked and I had a shitty launch. I raced the neon again from ~55 to ~120 and took him by a few cars. As long as you get a better launch you might be able to take it.

>What do u have done to your car??? I have intake and >ehuast... vs a neon and integra with same mods. Still think >that?? Integras are pretty fast...
Most of the integs I've beaten was with only intake and weight reduction now I have AEM CAI, A'pexi N1 catback, and Eibach pro-kits. One of them had intake and exhaust, the rest either had one or the other. The neon that beat me had exhaust, but like I said I took him from a ~55mph roll up to ~120mph. From a stop the neon you might have to worry about, but if you get a better launch your fine. The integra is the same way, I think the newer neons have a little more hp/torque than we do, but the integra has the same hp and less torque. It's pretty much a drivers race.

My girl has an escort 97 with a header, exhaust, catback, CAI and she can take a newer neon. So i know if she can take it you can take it, if manual. I can kill a neon, and i have an apex exhaust, intake, and cat-back. As far as teg's, i haven't raced one, but you should be able to take a neon, considering you are a good driver. The neon srt-4 is a different story! Race them and then you can see where you need to improve to beat them, that is what i do. I win some and lose some, just try and hope your car acts right during the race until the turbo money comes up.

Stock vs. stock, The Neon has the best shot, if it's a 1st generation R/T. 150 hp and the lightest of the three cars, it has the power to weight ratio advantage and would gain the edge.
Now, that is stock vs. stock, with equal drivers. The last time I raced an R/T neon with bolt ons I won easily, and I only had bolt ons too.
If it's a SOHC then it's about even, due to lower HP and gearing.
The LS integra is essentially equal to our cars. It has the same HP and is a little lighter, over 2600 lbs while an RS eclipse is about 2750 lbs. But, the eclipse has the torque advantage. On paper (power vs. weight) the integra would edge out an eclipse, but in reality the driver would determine the winner there.
