Are those your only requirements? Lots of HP and 4dr? What does lots of HP mean to you? What range?

Also, based on the age in your profile and your apparent HP desire... I'd spend $10k or less and put the rest away for insurance...

And this is why my insurance rates are through the roof.

If these are your only requirement, take the bus.

I like owning the car.

I remember the 3G section was a good place at one point. But since the 3G is now a used car, all kinds of creatures can afford them.

Import, Domestic? FWD, RWD, AWD? Manual, Auto? And on and on. Also, and again... what's a lot of HP to YOU? 250? 300? 400? 500? Why do you want a lot of HP... track use, autocross, drag strip, impressing your friends? Plenty of criteria...

If you're just looking for tons of speed.... get a motorcycle.

Technically, 4 doors. 2 entries, but 4 doors.
