GTI you will spend too much, if you only want to spend that much get a stang, they have power and are about your price range with the GT

dude.. ive seen a lot of people in seattle getting '02 mitsubishi mirages for around 6 grand.. then the put turbo charger, EVO V bodykit, and it only probably at most comes to around $10,000 ... fast, reliable, leather, 5spd, did i mention.. u could get a '02 mirage with 11K miles for 6 grand..

try auto trader in your neigborhood..

the only bad side.. is that mirages are pretty weak.. stock SL is 1.8L 111HP...

im actually considering buying one as a project car

Mirages are gay as fuck, i would never get that piece of trash, get yourself a stang cobra like they said or try and find a deal on a mach 1 - they have pretty good ones out there, you would be surprised

Go for the used M3. Even could go as far as saying getting a used... S4 around that price? It's worth a shot I would say.

GTI is a great choice. slap a chip and a downpipe on there and your running low 14's.
