SOHC, 2.0 ltr, should do 0-60 in about 8.8 seconds....[&:]

DOHC was an option on the "sport" and the "Highline" in '95....

BTW, you need to change your timing belt, pulley, and your head gasket if the previous owner didn't and it's got more than around, say, 60,000 miles on it...there are lots of Neon Maintenance Websites out there as well....
