1G DSM if you wanna go that low and still have a 11-12 sec street car. Talon Tsi AWD, Eclipse GSX, etc. 1G DSM's might not look that great compared to the 2G's, but dont have as many issues as the 2G's. Remember...6-bolt is better if you want those times. 2G's and later 1G's have 7-bolt. Anyhow, good luck choosing a car, but 11-12 second reliable, cheap, and good looking cars are very hard to find for even 8K of investment. Good luck!
