My neighbor road races at Waterford Hills a lot; for this he has had a Ferrari 308 for the past few years. Now, this thing is fully race-prepped and everything. However, every once in awhile during hard turns, the oil pressure went to zero(!). He tried everything - nothing worked. Finally, he decided to say "screw it", and he bought a prepped Neon and trailer for 4500. Having oil pressure during turns is a good thing. Now, the Neon is freakin' amazing, I mean, for a Neon and all

But still, it's a Neon! You think those Italians would've figured out how to make cars for track use...

Your neighbor rules.

If I had the cash, I'd snap up an ACR for SCCA's Spec Neon class. Cheap, and fun as hell.

You'd think they made Ferrari's for track use, but unfortunately the don't. They're mostly for posing as a racecar driver and picking up gold diggers.

Porsche is one of the only sports car manufacturers I respect for consistently making cars that are designed to be used for racing.
