The Neon RT has a better intake manifold, a more agressive cylinder head, and a more agressive camshaft, and a better exhaust.

The changes in the '99 Neon R/T as different from a stock Neon are as follows:

- coupe model only (no sedan)
- silver racing stripes
- sport spoiler
- sport seats
- leather wrapped steering wheel and shift ****
- MTX only (no automatic transmission only)
- DOHC engine
- MacPherson struts in front
- Chapman struts in back
- Coil springs, tube shocks and anti-roll bars are fitted at both ends
- P185/65-14 Goodyear Eagle tires
- four-wheel disc brakes
- tighter turning ratio

What I posted was the difference in the engine based on the 2nd Gen. Neons.

1st gen R/T's were available as sedans for both model years, with or without the "skunk" stripes.

an easy way to check would be to see if it's got the DOHC engine and the rear disc brakes

Alternatively, you could type in your VIN # into the VIN Calculator http://www.neons.org/vin/

Or just check the vin; if the 8th digit is a Y then it's a DOHC engine, if it's a C you've got an SOHC engine and can't be an R/T.

Looks like my little R/T conversion might be easier than I thought.
