I noticed this also, and also know that the 2000 Neon is 150# *heavier* that
the earlier versions. Even if they come back with the ACR model with the twin
cam engine, it will not be as fast. Maybe with the Chrysler 2.4 engine it will
have a chance... :-). Naw, they wouldn't, would they?
Even if it comes with 15" rims and other goodly stuff, I just don't see it
beating the early ACR's.
Anyone else out there have specific details on the 2000 ACR or R/T, if there
are such beasts?
