Im suprised the neon even got the 80 mph

You would be surprised at the vehicles that will surprise you!! I once owned a VW in the late 70's that would keep up with a lot of mustangs for a short distance!! My buddy had a VW(yes a beetle) that would pull the front wheels off the ground in 1st,2nd, and 3rd gear!!

After seeing a smart car with a turbo hayabusa engine beat a ferrari at the drag strip on youtube, I definitely believe you

I had a GT-R pull up next to me and rev at a light. I think I pee'd a little. I grabbed my badge and flashed it at him. He maintained the speed limit after that.

Speaking of trucks.

Watch out for the diesels. They'll surprise you real quick. Tell-tale signs of a fast diesel: gauges. If you see gauges on the pillar, he isn't stock. Smoke. If you see a puff of smoke when he leaves a red light, he is not stock. If he wants to race you from a dig and he's 4WD, not only is he not stock, you will not win.
