buy yourself an lt1 z28(1993-1997), with a 6-speed manual tranny...and you will be good to go, and you can find plenty in that price range...

sc300, its basically a supra that looks more classy (slightly longer wheelbase, and some other minor things).

older awd DSM, they just kick ass

mark 8

older M3

i like to do things differently though, if you couldn't tell

if nothing else you can always get a camaro or mustang. i wouldn't reccomend it. i have a 96 mustang gt and hate it. its so primitive, has a horrible ride, pathetic power, handles shitty, the sohc engine is worthless. etc. etc.

the eclipses(most all mits) have the most prob in the turbo . they end up with loss of oil flow to the turbo or a party pluged return line do to sludge build up and end up tosting the turbos. that has been what i have seen the most of around here.

not saying that it happens to them all but from most of the used cars around here that i have seen have been like that.

thats my 2 cents on them

and with that said

z28 or mustang both in a v8 would be my best bet

me pers. i would go with a chey product cheaper to upgrade
