Dodge is trying to step up with the Neon SRT-4(?). That thing is a rocket posting sub 6 sec times in 0-60 and claiming a top speed of 148 mph. it also if I remember right has a low 14 sec time in the quarter. That is more than enough to give a stock GT fits. I do agree though that Dodge doesn't have rear wheel drive sports car anymore like a Mustang or Camaro. Hopefully there will be further additions to their lineup. GM is trying to respond to Ford's domination of rear wheel driven vehicles but I think we're still a few years away from seeing that come to fruitation.
As far as rice goes, ignore them like me and if they rev at you smoke 'em and they tend to leave you alone. It's a fad and will disappear eventually. But give them credit for forcing the Big Three automakers here to come up with some performance compact cars(Focus, Neon).
