i bought a 1986 chrysler lazer [daytona] front drive car back in the early to mid 90's for $200.00 because the front end was whacked.
the original intent was to fix it and send it down the road.
however, after it was done, it was such a fun car to drive that i kept it for several years after.
it was surprisingly peppy, even with the standard 2.2 and 5 speed.
it did indeed embarrass some 60's and 70's muscle from the light to about the 330ft mark or so.
