I think you can have your fun with FWD or RWD. I love my GTP and it does real well in the ice and snow.
The reason I asked those questions is because I didnt want to jump in and say GTP because I do own one...
...but a GTP is right up your alley. Yoy can find them priced in your range with decdent mileage on it and I doubt you'll find anyone on here that will argue that the 3.8 is a bullet proof motor.
Drop a thousand into bolt ons and your running low 14's high 13's...
Cheap, reliable, FWD, 2-door, good looking, can be made fast easy, win, win, win...
