Yep. Lori is a resident Neon expert. Im not sure which would be the better pick an ACR or R/T. Were the ACRs DOHC?

Heres the low down on Neons. If you are looking used I would suggest looking for an ACR rare to find a real ACR but they have all the goodies better 5 speed better steeering ratio4 wheel disc brakes no ABS Folding rear seat 2 doors come DOHC 4 doors come SOHC bothe engines are equally good performers. IMO DOHC is the better choice more power off the bat and more tuneable but you could always drop the crate engine in it and be at 160 hp and it is SCCA legal. Now you could get the R/T and have a Loaded ACR it will weigh more and it is slower than the ACR stock for stock.
