So long as we're voting, LOTUS!     I started by autocrossing  an ASP
Twin-Cam Europa. Definately cheaper buy in than Porsche, and Lotus wrote the
book on handling.  Of course parts are going to be more difficult, and like
Porche, if you don't do your own work you better be prepared...  The Europa is
the lightest, has a very cool 4-cyl,  and the later ones had a 5-speed.  It's
quirky enough to be my favorite, and I've had my '72  since '78.
