and someone on here said it wasn't a chic car. HA.

 

Unfortunately not much. God I miss Bonfire Night. The fireworks, the smell, the atmosphere, setting things on fire

 

They ahd a programme here last night, where Richard 'I'm the ham,ster from top gear' Hammond actually set up the Gunpowder plot. Built the House of Lords, as it was, etc. Got the gunpowder set up, (1 tonne of it), and blew the ****** up. It was one hell of an explosion!!! damned impressive. no doubt there will be clips soon on the net!

 

Hamster as Guy Fawkes. What's the world coming to?

 

$25K?
SVT Focus

his dad talking about no car below 2000 actually probably has to do with resale. you'd be mighty surprised how much of a difference the 1999-2000 makes when selling (and buying) a used car. however... the car's resale is going to be crap anyway... so it really doesn't apply

 

hamster wasn't playing Guy Fawkes, but was just doing a 'pulp science' type show, where they saw what the result would have been should he have blown up 36 barrels of gunpowder!

 

SRT-4 is cheap to mod. Your bud could put $3000 into it and run high 11's to low 12's, depending on all the usual stuff. Though, FWD is a pain.

 

and bottom line after your all done... its still a Neon.. ewwww[:@]

 

So, save the other 2-8k for repairs.

 

Overall, taking cost, modification options, ease of modifications, cost vs performance output, etc etc I would have to say an Evo. A WRX close second but it does have better reliability and bomb-proof construction over the Evo.
