What's a 510? Seriously, outside of the SCCA I've never seen one in the
midwest. Ever. Not even at the hot rod/custom car shows. And I definitely
"get around" enough. Must be a coastal thing.
I'll concede that Neons and Acuras aren't necessarily what I think of when I
hear the term sports car. A sports car, to me, conjures up images of
something that gets worked on every weekend. Like a LBC. ;^) But it's
hard not to argue that cars like the Neon, Civic, Integra and Subaru are the
modern day sports cars. Cheap, lots of hop-ups for them and they're good
performers.
OTOH, I am old enough to remember when Pong and the Atari 2600 was the BOMB
in video games!! ;^) Next was Space Invaders, and then Asteroids, and then
Pac Man..............
