Hi Team!
Jim and Pat Washburn are correct about the new ACR.
It is a SOHC 2.0ltr 150hp. Now the car will weigh
500lbs more,get a slower steering ratio(18:1) compared
to the current models 16:1. Chassis rigidity is
up(Twist and Flex),and the coolest feature is the
double adjustable struts.
Now the cool NEON is the concept vehicle called the
NEON SRT. Its a supercharged 16 valve SOHC 4cyl with
208hp @6200rpm and 180lb ft of torque @4800rpm.It has
limited slip and equal length half shats!
Now there is a car that is a TYPE R equivelent.Who
knows if they will build it.
