Here are five high-performance vehicles for sale in the area.
Sports cars and the people who drive them have taken a bit of a beating in popular culture these last few years. Movie geeks look at a hood scoop and drawl "I live my life a quarter mile at a time" in their deepest Vin Diesel voice.

Big block beast, small block tuner, or high-end euro ride, the power and handling can't be matched by an efficient Prius or sensible minivan. Here are five local cars for sale that will give you the growl, grip and go that (deep down inside) you really want: 2014 Ford Mustang, $26,849: When introduced in the 1960's, the Ford …
