I need the car to be a manual so its still somewhat fun to drive so that rules out the srt-8 cars.

I don't really like the styling of the 4 door bmws, i do like the 2 doors but i am not paying close to 50k for one.

The high end of my budget is 40-43k so s4 is out.

And yeah I am looking for a new fun car with a warranty. If i get the vette it will get an exhaust and intake and some wheels, the others will probably just get wheels and maybe lowered but nothing that will tamper with the warranty.
