f24a1 and 4 135 hp, 142 torque in 90s accords
not many accords racing, heavier than civics with the similar hp so nobody bothers. Hondas are extremely easy to swap better parts into (although f series is a bigger challenge) and hard to tech. accords come as auto but 90-93 accords with the correct engine are pretty rare. transmission ratio choices are very limited with auto. every 16 year old tuner kid with a laptop can tune your ecu
early 2000s cavaliers and sunfires with the 2.2 ecotech are 140 hp, 150 torque. came as automatic and are very common. lots of very fast cavaliers racing where the dohc is allowed. there is only one ratio trans available. tuneable, but not as easy as some cars like the hondas. many websites and clubs to find good info on these
2001-2003 sohc neon r/t is 150 hp, 135 torque. they never came as an automatic but one could be bolted up. there are tons of neons racing and many automatic classes in the US. Neon auto transmissions can have the ratio changed. some performance ecus available if you look
the non r/t neon is 135 hp. nice thing is you can't hardly swing a dead cat without hitting one
VWs are under powered (115hp) but can be lightened up alot. the auto transmission is unlikely to hold up to racing. motronic ecu from 93-98 can be chipped for a few hp and limiter but not much
omni and shadow would never keep up with neons and cavaliers
