SR20 20th ?!?

[Ben Fenner]

I agree, the EVO isn't the car. The RSX-S or Civic-Si are close, but as 
other have noted, although the shifter/clutch/steering/power feel is 
terrific, the handling is abismal, with understeer until the cows come 
home. No LSD either. I spent a long time driving my friend's RSX-S. We 
did everything we could to correct the understeer. With giant, sticky 
tires up front and tiny, all-seasons in back plus Mugen suspension, etc. 
it still wouldn't rotate. It was ultra reliable though, so it wouldn't 
do the decent thing and die on him. =/

Anyway, the Dodge Neon based SRT-4 comes to mind. Cheap, FWD, LSD 
(latter models), factory fast, tore shit up in the autocross (especially 
the ACR edition). It's a Dodge of course, and no longer available but 
that's the car that came to mind for me. Maybe not what we'd hoped to 
see as a successor, but what else is/was there?
