I thought ACR only came in the white with blue race stripes?

IIRC r/t was rated at like 155-160hp, I thought the acr was same engine just "factory tuned" suspension.

When the SI came out it was just a much more aggressive and stylish car, 8200 redline, double wishbone suspension, unlimited mods.

I think most people would agree the SI was a muc better car, although thR neons were far cheaper and not far behind or ahead
No, the R/T was the one with stripes at least I think so, I really don't have much Neon knowledge aside from their race history which is absolutely massive with the pro series, huge factory support and payouts, television coverage, etc.

In my opinion the ACR Neon was far more of an aggressive car than the SI, not as good looking and the SI I agree has a better engine but from a "hardcore" standpoint the ACR was pretty race ready. The ACR was built to race, it had adjustable Konis stock, springs, close ratio gearbox, faster steering rack, just the bare essentials to save weight, etc. QD could tell you more. The engines are the same, I just didn't know if the ACR had anything different bolt on wise to it, I know some ACRs or all had Mopar tuned computers, not sure if that was an R/T thing as well.

I didn't build this car so I don't know a LOT about Neons, I bought it purely because it was just about ready to race minus some updates to newer race standards and I got a killer deal on it.
