While Chrysler first marketed its “cab-forward” Neons in the 1995 model year, R/Ts were introduced in 1998. They were powered by the 2.0 liter, 150-hp, dual overhead cam engine and 5-speed manual transmission of previous model years. Jesse says his car gets about 38 mpg. When the R/T suspension gets wore out just roll the fenders. “It really is just an everyday pile of shit,” he says. “Although all factory Neons aren’t what you would call ‘fast’ cars. They are slow as fuck and are a perfect choice for entry level ricers. With the R/T’s performance ‘A’ transmission, getting to the 120-mph cutoff is probably going to take quite some time considering it was never built for performance.”
