Well, this has been most educational... I'll spare you all from a ton of
replies and quotes and make a few comments back. :)
I stand (well, actually sit) corrected on my statement that the ACR got a
major makeover to become what it is. With the facts on the ACR and the M3
LTW, I see that the M3 got a much more serious makeover, and the ACR's parts
were simply what someone might have put together in their driveway with a
base Neon using all factory parts. Dodge just saved you the time and
trouble.
I don't believe I ever implied that I thought the M3 LTW should be in stock.
If that's what you gathered from my statements, I apologize and clarify. I
actually used this model as a highly modified car that should not be in
stock, and was trying to compare the ACR's mods to it. Given what I've
learned, I believe the classing on BOTH models is accurate.
As for the Type R, I don't know a whole lot about them, other than that I
saw one absolutely scream at an event on Sunday. :) They seem to be not
intended as race cars, unlike the ACR and M3 LTW, but more of a
top-of-the-line Integra with lots of go-fast goodies. The Type R does seem
to be a better comparison to the ACR than the M3.
