Not that we really need to argue about this, but I'd bet a fair bit of
money that if you put Daddio in my $4.5k '95 Neon ACR with its $300 set of
AR-24's, $700 set of tires (damn Kumho for not having a 225-14 :-), his
$1.2k set of shocks, and gave him a bit of time with his wrenches he'd
still have kicked everyone's ass. Total cost: $6.7k. Throw in a harness,
some front swaybars, K&N, plug wires, and a Geez setup and you're still
sub $8k.
