They could be building 3200-3400 pound cars with few options, less BS, and a far lower price. But they are not.
If this whole thing was getting 18-24 year-olds into $25K factory hot rods off the showroom floor, building a fan base and a participant base for the sport and the market, for the future, it would be a great thing. That's not happening, and it's not going to happen with the current structure.

In fairness, the Mustang is not far off from what you're asking for. My 2011 5.0 weighed 3500 and change as delivered, and it cost me $28k. I can't think of any other similar car in respect to weight and cost though.
I just don't understand why cars like this can't be in the guide. Instead nothing but the paper cars since 2008.
