I cant say anything about the above as I dont know much about SS. Is there
a SSA?

I thought the SEB classed the car according to its performance in
comparison to the other cars. I still see BMW's and CRX's beat Neons, but
why spend 20k+ to beat a 13k car? And all that nice contingency money DC
pays out. Maybe if honda and BMW did the same more people would drive
those cars eh?

If your trying to say the difference between an ACR and other neons are
swaybars and springs then 95-96 Sport Coupe's are ACR's and so are 98-99
R/T's then ACR's. Only difference between an ACR and those neons are
thicker hub flanges for road racing, and for one year (97) the sloted
Koni's. I can get as much neg camber out of a 95-96 SC or 98-99 R/T as a
97-99 ACR can from slotted Koni's, crash bolts.
The ACR isnt a race package like the Cobra R with no rear seat or the Type
R with 40 more HP and strut tower braces and whole new suspension stuff.
The ACR is a neon with factory Koni's (which you can get anyway in Stock)
and some better hubs so you dont have to replace them every race. Its just
a cost effective little car.
