well, top end will be skyline, R32, r33, r34($170-280k). can
easily eat up the competition if tuned well. second down the line
will be evo($140k). then wrx($115-140k)( IMO, i prefer driving a
wrx over an evo, personal driving pref.) then comes the honda
itr($130k), then comes the rx-8($130k), then honda euro R($130k),
then mazda 6($80-110k).
btw, these are all my personal pref. if you really want performance
at a cheap price. Look around for a well mantained 10yr old porche.
cos those german cars are made to last.
