if you want to drag race get an rt, if you want to road race get a acr, these are the 95-99 models im talkin g about

so is the 95-99 engins better then the 2001 and i dont thnk they made acr in canada we only got r/t and neon sport

post ur ur experiances and what i should consider

[Syndrome51]

look for the VIN number, it can tell you if the car is made in mexico or in the united states. Are American better workers then Mexican ? judge by yourself I'm Canadian

well i had a single cam, with an allmotor type of setup. i heard that sohc can make more power than the duals anyway. but, the acr is the neon that come with a more aggresive suspension, koni shocks, stiffer springs, slightly lower, than the regular neon. its a great start for a car, its also very limited with luxery options. the duals come with more power but then again, they come fully loaded, thus, weighing alot more. just my 2 cents

Well gen2telgs, if you are looking at the r/t, they have the sohc magnum engine which has the same hp as the dohc. So if all you have is the r/t and the sport, I think the sport has a dohc. (Correct me if I am wrong anyone), so you have a choice of 150 hp sohc with better low end than the 150 hp of the dohc. It's all up to you from there.

ya i think im going to get the sohc casue my theory is less moving parts = less problems lol and if i get the 2001 r/t i think im gonna keep it for 5 years or so....... does anybody know if they sold the acr in canada... im from bc canada n e one know how much these things are to insure here.
