miata is too small, boxster too gay (and i am a huge porsche nut!!)
I say S2000
CL-S 6 speed with many mods on it to hit the $20k mark and 400+whp
but ultimately if i had that money: E46 M3!

I'd probably go with either:
-2005-2009 Mustang (the 2010 with Track Pack is a wonderful car but a touch over your parameters). A 2008 Bullitt can be had quite reasonably however.
-Early 911. A little pricey on the maintenance, but parts are readily available, and the simplicity and purity of the car is hard to ignore.
-C5 Corvette. Not really a personal favourite, but those who have them seem to enjoy them. A lot of car for the money, and surprisingly good fuel mileage to boot.

i'm sure the boxster is an extremely balanced car: lightweight, decent power, mid engine, etc...just not my type...also i should clearify i said my ignorant comment since its the affordable Porsche and i've seen many women driving it. i have never seen a woman drive a 997GT3RS! so relatively...
anyways...

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
C5 Vette - As stated by Terry, a lot of car for the money.
2002 M5 - Always been a favorite. The body style and HP (400) in a sedan.
1987 Buick Grand National -
I always loved these. Could never afford the GNX, but this would do.

Car and Driver did an article on this...$25 fun toys, had some strange things on the list:
Brand-new GTI
Brand-new MX-5
E46 M3
Dodge Ram SRT-10
1998 E55 AMG total sleeper
94 Supra
C5 Corvette
Early 90s Carrera 4
Told you it was weird
personally I'd go for an S2000 or an MX-5, probably an S2k because its a looker and ZOMG VTEC 
How about a mid-90s eclipse or Talon? Those things can be boosted from here to hell and back.

anywho... S2K is def top of my list because its a roadster and its a fun thing to drive.
and i cant really think of anything else except for a restoration project car. like a late 60s muscle.
doesn't seem gay to me. This think corners like a mofo.

I just did a quick eBay search and it returned four Supra. Most expensive was $25k (with 0 bids), one had a Buy It Now for ~$24k and two are in progress... one is at $8,500 and one is at $15,200.So yeah, looks like you can definitely find a 1994 Supra for under $30k... even under $25k.

As for the list... not much I can add. My list is way too long to name 3... and everything that is on my list has pretty much been posted already.
