Ok so next year i figure i'll go domestic and get a decently quick mid-sized car that has all options but still within a good price range. here's what i've come up with. all these seems to be under 10k and have very good options/power under the hood.......

2000+ Pontiac grand prix GTP
3.8L 3800 SERIES II SUPER CHARGED V6 240 HP x 225 ft lbs FWD
HEAVY DUTY 4-SPD OVERDRIVE TRANSMISSION
LEATHER
COLD A/C, DUAL AIRBAGS, ABS, KEYLESS REMOTE ENTRY WITH SECURITY, POWER SEAT, POWER WINDOWS, POWER LOCKS, POWER REMOTE MIRRORS, TILT WHEEL, CRUISE CONTROL, AM/FM STEREO CD WITH STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS, FOG LIGHTS, REAR DEFROST, OVERHEAD AND CENTER CONSOLES, SPOILER, CHROME WHEELS

2000+ MONTE CARLO SS
Basically the same except
3.8 L L36 V6 200 HP x 225 ft lbs
FWD

1994-1996 Impala SS
LT1 V8 260 hp x 330 ft·lbs
RWD
Leather
All power options

1997-2001 Cadillac Catera
3.0 v6 200 HP x 200ft lbs
RWD
Leather
All power options

Now although the monte carlo ss and grand prix gtp are fwd from what people are telling me they both are pretty quick cars and the fact they are supercharged from the factory is very nice as well.
