You said "COMPETITIVE". That limits the choices greatly. If you want a fun coupe in your price range, that's a different ballgame, but you said competitive. There are only 9 stock classes. And within each of those, there's only usually at most 2-3 cars that are really competitive. And then you further narrowed it down with it having to be in a certain price range (byebye SS), non-convertible (byebye AS, CS, ES), RWD (byebye HS, GS), and less than 4 years old(byebye BS). You're only 2 choices are DS and FS, and those I gave the top cars in each of those classes that coincide with your criteria.

If you don't like the choices, maybe then you should post in the general chat section.
