An interesting tidbit about the Neon ACR-R/T's that to get the full benefit
of the 150hp you have to use Premium fuel, otherwise it runs a little
quicker than a standard Neon. Too bad that trick doesn't work on the
standard Neon engine. Also the kid probably didn't know how to run the Neon.
On the all 4 bangers you gotta get the RPM's past 4k to get into the power
band. Redline on the ACR-R/T's is 6750 I think, but there is a rev limiter
anyway..
