Definitely looking for something RWD.
Would like something light that you can really toss around.
Doesn't need to be insanely fast, but don't want something really slow either.
Looking for something a little unique and interesting as a car in general.
Don't really want to get a miata.
Like e30 m3s a lot. (current favorite choice)
Don't really want a Porsche either.
Basically anything fun and interesting to throw around, just tryin to do a bunch of research and get a lot of ideas to narrow down the search. thanks a lot!

Also keep in mind that there is a huge aftermarket for the 3rd generation F-Bodies. Another suggestion would be a Fox-Body Mustang. You can't find a larger aftermarket than one for a Fox.
1st generation Mazda Miata?
Last generation Subaru Impreza 2.5 RS? Yeah, it's AWD, but they're not overly heavy cars.
1985-1986 Corvette- expect to pay around $7000, but with a nice set of stickies they were known to corner at over 1.0g on the skidpad.

First figure out what your long term goals are. Do you want to race this car or just tool around on the track?
Common cars to consider: Miata (I don't see why you wouldn't consider this), E30 & E36 M3, C4 corvette, Nissan 240, 90's Mustangs & Camaros. There is a lot of info and support for all these cars and that's a big plus.
There's also a few FWD cars that should be considered. Mainly the Integra (not an ITR).
