what are some advantages that the neon r/t has over the (regular) neon...

 

Top Speed.....

The R/T comes with a few better things and has only a rev limiter I believe.

This vs a regular neon.... = R/T > SXT/SE

 

better cam, better intakemanafold, rear discs

 

im r/t all the way! the biggest difference i can tell from driving them is the handling and braking. there is a pretty big power difference too

 

The RT has a better cam, intake manifold, LARGER EXHAUST PORTS, 4 disc brakes, and a higher performance computer. That's all I can think of.

 

Performance wise:
[ol][*]Magnum Cam (equivalent to a Crane 12) w/ stronger valve springs.[*]Aluminum Dual-Runner Intake Manifold with functioning butterfly actuators.[*]2.25" Dual Outlet Exhaust[*]Magnum Exhaust Manifold (Same as the aftermarket Borla header).[*]Magnum Head (larger intake/exhaust ports, much better flowing).[*]No top speed limiter...same rev limiter though.[*]Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS (rear discs are the same as on SRT-4's).[*]Stiffer spring rates and front/rear sway bars.[*]"Firm Feel" Power Steering.[*]Different PCM programming...along with different fuel maps and better spark timing.[*]9.8:1 Compression Ratio.[*]3.94 Final Drive Transmission (thanks tooslow ).[*]I think thats everything... [/ol]Body Difference:
[ol][*]Side skirts[*]Rear Bumper w/ Dual Outlet Exhaust Cutouts.[*]Different front seats[*]Leather steering wheel/shift ****/shift boot/optional leather seats.[*]16" Aluminum Alloy Wheels [/ol]

 

another one
12. shorter gear ratio

 

Damn how could I have forgot about that! Thats like my favorite part about the R/T...
