The ACR is being readied for introduction. I'm guessing it's a 4 door
SOHC ACR. Dunno if there is plans for the twim cam. Not sure who is
going to run one if it isn't faster than the 1st gen anyway. I was
personally a little dissapointed when I saw it...no reaction at all
really. Kinda dull for what is a fun car. Note that the SOHC engine is
much easier to get some hign gains (percentage wise) by bolting on some
junk. It is more difficult with the twin cam, so you really can't make
predictions on one from the other.
