not wanting to be a conspiracy theorist, but isnt this a classic case of the media and government working together. newspaper gets a headline and cops get to scare folks. what bullshit.
I swear by this thing quarter mile calc Compared it to quite a few recorded times around datsun1200 and a few cars I have owned (by manufacturers specs), seems pretty spot on.
Evos once used to be famous for a very extensive warranty despite being such a powerful car, might still be that way.

Definately get something Japanese.
