out of those i would go with the s2000... but look at the z3 or an m3.. oh yeah but with 15k you can easy get a 10k and put 5k in it.. choose wisely

 

Your list is quite interesting.. but here is my opinion:

I will only consider the WRX if you are not going to upgrade turbo or other engine parts. The transmission will fail rapidly, it can not take any abuse..

I would consider the Boxter S over the regular, it is simply far superior than the regular Boxter and it would cost you a bit more.

I love the S2000 but you will get tired of the lack of torque driving in town specially with the A/C on, otherwise it looks great and it handles great.

My last choice would be the 230Compressor, Why?, it is slow as hell and it weights a lot, it is a weak performer.

There are many other good cars out there that kick *** for that price:

Porsche 911 (964)
BMW M-3 E-36
300zx
VR4 RX7
even c5 vettes

Good luck!

thank you all so much for the input!

with my budget i can probably only get really old m3's... like 1999 or something, and those dont look very good imo.
and i dont think i can pull it off in a vette (or mustang, which is a really nice car for really great price) because in the back of my head i see old retired white men in vettes, and it just doesnt look right for a chinese dude like me to drive a stang...


yea fromWRXtoEVO, you're right though, honda's just dont putting torque in their cars...

hows the insurance on the s2k? anyone know?

 

ooh a white s2000 would be hot.

i dont know but i think u can get a used g35 for around 15k. i could be wrong. but those are even hotter
