No seriously, look into a Pontiac Fiero GT or Formulas, with the 2.8 v6. The Fiero SE's were shit, 2.5 4 cyl. The GT's and Formulas are quick little cars, with good handling, rear wheel drive, and won't kill you on insurance.

*Edit - Insurance'll kill you on the LT1 more than likely though.

4th gens tend to get pricey if your looking for a V8 but the 3rd's and Fox body Stangs are much cheaper.

I see those all the time for about $2,000-$3,000.
However though the 8 mpg mileage might break the bank.

I got a Honda 'cuz 25 mpg beats my Novas' 9 mpg.-Bob
