Default What Is Special About 95 Sport Coupes?

I know on my 95 neon sport coupe, it has rear disc brakes and a 3.94 gear ratio manual transmission, which came in the 96 and up r/ts to the best of my knowledge anyways. Is the 95 sport coupes the same as a 96+ r/t??? jus curious what the big significants of the "Sport Coupes" are. Thanks.

wheres that sport coupe for $500? i need another race car - my honest opinion an r/t is just a dressed up sport coupe, i got ahold of a sport coupe with a SOHC once, i think that was a downgrade option

The 95 sport coupe is generally the lightest neon available. That's why its so popular in autocrossing. The 95 NYG is the lightest though.
