Default Daily Race Car?

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forum and didn't see a general section where I thought this could be placed. I'm currently looking for a new car (driving a 2003 VW GTI currently) and am looking for something fast, reliable, and at least moderately comfortable. I've primarily been looking at WRX's, Turbo SC300's, B5 Audi S4's. BMW E36 M3's, and Volvo S60R's. If you couldn't see the trend those are all either RWD or AWD and all but one are turbo specific.

Now, upon looking around on Honda-Tech I've started to realize that there are a lot of 400+ HP, Turbo, Daily Driven cars. Where should I start and what should I look for? Honda or Acura? Hatch, Coupe, or Sedan? I'd want to stay under $10k (or damn close if it were well worth it). I'd be looking for a clean body, reliable as a daily driver, and heat and A/C are a must along with power steering. Not worried about traction control or ABS (and I don't know which of these cars even came with it).

Ideally it would be in the range of 300+ WHP on a daily, pump gas map and 400++ on pump, E85, or race gas for a track/race map. Turbo preferred. Even the small turbo on the GTI has me hooked on them.

So.... point me in the right direction. (If you're selling something that fits the criteria feel free to send me a PM.)

Thanks in advance for the help and advice,
Dan

Mods: If this is in the wrong section for some reason feel free to relocate it. Apologies in advance.
