import cars make decent winter beaters. Drove my '83 Carb'd Accord into the ground last winter with some 235k on it. The only major problem I had was installing a new timing belt.

Comparable ricers to non ricers. This weekend at the Local 8th mile strip. Older Rx7, silly can and some other little things, among a ton of aftermarket body parts running 9.5's all day long. Where as the '97 Integra with a turbo was running between 8.13 and 8.6 all day long. Now that Integra was actually keeping up if not beating most of the other cars that were up against it.
