I had a 1996 ACR; with A/C, it seems it was just over 2400#, measured on a
scale (did corner weights). This is without driver, 1/4 tank of gas, no spare.
This is from memory; any other Neon guys out there with recent recorded data?

Non posi, same 6" rim, weight not over the driven wheels. Hey, ever watch
those sedan races on Speedvision from Europe? Don't give me that "rear drive
is superior" dribble. :-)
In autocross, weight hurts you three times - cornering, accelleration, and
braking. Horsepower only helps you once - accelleration.
