what^^^^ said.

a 12000 dollar 60 mpg fiesta will sell. It would still be quicker than damn near anything on the road from the dark ages of the 70-80s. Ever take a look at the acceleration times from that period. Anything uder 10 seconds to 60 was quick. Under 8 seconds was extremely fast and cost big $$$$.

make that fiesta with roll up windows, manual steering and brakes and i think it can be done for that price. There is one thing I am not sure about though. Can manual brakes have ABS? ABS is one of the few teatures that has come along that I am not willing to give back.
