24 hours of Lemons... Car suggestions???

[Twinboosted]

Dodge Omni GLH Turbo
Small, light, good power (150hp stock), and dirt cheap. With that car, you can just keep up and maybe pass here and there at first, and once everyone has pitted due to over heating and blown engines, you can start racing. Watch that temp gauge though.
As for mods, everyone gets away with some mods and actual pays more than $500. If you can source a bigger radiator(mitsu truck for example) and a new clutch, you should be good to go. If you can get a cheap stock early Talon TSi intercooler and fab that on you're golden. Do they count tires as part of the $500?
Other things you may want if you can afford it:
After market water temp gauge(~$40 new at OReilleys), some sort of oil cooler off any junked sports car, and a home made manual boost controller to push the boost another 2-3 psi (need that bigger radiator and take out that thermostat).
Feel free to e-mail me if you are interested in more. jacobwagg@yahoo.com.

thanks for the input... Tires do not count toward the 500.- thankfully

Isn't there some crashing involved in lemons? If so I'd shy away from anything fwd/awd in favor of a nice rwd with a well protected radiator (i.e. 240, mottie carlie, caprice, etc.)
