95 sport vs. 95 regular
The Sport could come with either engine (SOHC or DOHC), but only the regular tranny (3.55 final drive). It usually came with the "power bulge" hood, rear spoiler, and fog lights. Some came with ABS as an option, some had rear disc brakes with the 5-lug setup all around. There were a few Sports that cam with alloys, but most got 14" steel wheels with hubcaps (that had 5 fake lugs...). No special suspension parts, no special computer programming, etc.
"Sport" has been a Chrysler standard that means "base model with fancy upgrades". Starting with the 2000 model year, they changed it to SXT - simply "SPORT" with a big ol' "X" put through the "POR". Catchy though...

The infornation I've seen and my experience with a few cars I have encountered tells me these two cars would be VERY different. There were no r/t's or such in '95 so the sport was the top of the line. Base car should be 4-lug with no front or rear sway bar. Sport will have 5-lugs with F/R discs and F/R swaybars. All early sports I've seen also have the same 5 spoke alooys as the ACR.
I've never seen a Sport that actually came with alloys or rear discs, but I know they exist. The half dozen or so I've seen personally (all 1995 models, all 4-door) all came with 4-lug, rear disc, 14" steel wheels (that's where I got my winter steelies from). I'd put the ACR as "top o' the line" over the Sport any day...
