whats the easiest car to go fast in under $30,000?

Ok so I sold my evo8 and am researching my next purchase. Dont get me wrong I loved my evo and felt like it was fairly easy to drive and handled very well, but it just wasnt the feel I would like. Now there is a large possibility that a couple suspension mods could take care of that but Im wondering what my other options are. Whatever I get Im not looking to go super crazy with it just sways, coil overs, and some sticky tires. Given my driving style I am much more comfortable with oversteer so I am leaning towards something rwd. the things I have considered are: s2000,350z,m3, m-coupe,01-02 z06, sti, fd rx7. I plan to do some autox and I dont live very far from thunder hill so my goal is sub 205's at thunder and being able to drive there and back(about 60-70 miles).

Given you sold the EVO the only option for a all around car is a Z06. If it's straightline speed with only moderate road course time a Cobra would be the pick.

Stay far far away from any forced induction rotary

Yes a terminator would be a good choice, also a c5 zo6 would be just as good. Also the Goat is really quick too.

It's what 3800 lbs while our evo's are 3200 lbs, and that has a 6.0 liter V8, also I'm sure you can beef up the suspension. I drove a Ls2 version, and that car was really fun to drive, and the low end torque put's a smile to your face.
