Consider a MR2 Turbo also.
I guess it would depend on what you're doing. The 3S isn't as unreliable or hard to work as most people say. Mine hasn't given me any problems that weren't the fault of the previous owner. Also, it isn't hard to work on, just time consuming.

However, there are better cars out there. You can find a nice 1st gen Stealth for about $7 - $8 and it doesn't take much to be in the 12s.

Yeah, I've got a few:

The Dodge Garage is the best TD resource. I also have a couple of forums that I post in:

The reason I say to get a Turbo Mopar is the fact that you can find one for dirt cheap, like around $2k. That is unless you want some of the more rare cars like the Iroc Daytona R/T, Phantom R/T, Spirit R/T, and the Shelby CSX. Those are slightly more, if you can find them.

They are cake to work on and parts are abundant and inexpensive. You can reliably get one into the 12s for a few thousand. Eleven wouldn't be much more, and still daily drivable. You'd have money left over. Plus you'd have a sleeper depending on what car you pick. Plus, all the parts are interchangeable.
