s2000 is good

Earlier bmw e30

Earlier WRX

2005-2005 mazdaspeed3 - 14k 263 hp base. Leaves around 6k for mods. <-- this or honda would probably be the best choice.

If you can deal with the torque steering then they can get pretty fast. They have decent handling too. They aren't bad for the price imo.

Just suggestions

There are a lot of options for 20k

The 280Z would be cool, but a turbo miata might be a better bet.It will likely out handle it and Ive seen some pushing some good numbers.

If we could use prices we have gotten in the real world instead of KBB than I would go with my car + mods

2007 Mustang GT - $8k
Whipple or Saleen supercharger -$6k
GT500 Fuel pumps -$650
Aluminum drive shaft -$700
Suspension components ~$1200
Headers/Exhaust ~$1400

Total ~$17,950

Spend the last bit on tires and maybe trying to trim weight somewhere.

Would net around ~500HP

This is a fun topic !

I'll try to come up with something of mine, although I dont know USD value here so ill count it x3 as the exchange price in my country is. ( little over 60k pln )

Honda S2000 - becouse its so fun to drive it. ~ good condition in poland 40k

engine: 2.0 i-VTEC 240 KM
207 Nm / 7500 rev/min
9200 rev/min top's

3' magnaflow exhaust - guessing around 3500 zł
semi slick tiers - 2000 zł
coil overs - d2 racing - 3500 zł

thats 49k so far

add basic maintainance + 3000 zł

52k ~

8k for a decent turbo set up and intercooler + dyno runs and ecu tuning.

This wont be the best but it will be the funnest

at first as i was scrolling down i saw the pic at a glance and thought the soap was some kind of body kit to make it look like it had teeth or something lol
