Cars out there, something thats not celica Options

[NaderG]

So , what kind of car out there can be bought used for under 15k,that are reliable enough and have a minimum of 200 HP ??

I'm on the same boat as you, looking for a fun car for less then 15k.

I've been looking for fast-"ish" rwd cars. No more fwd for me.
So far my major considerations are ( no paticular order)

1) S2000

2) 350z

3) 06+ mustang

4) is300

5) miata (you can get a CARB legal supercharger for them to get past the 200 hp area =) )

6) 1975 280z with crazy swap - 5k for the car 10k for the swap. =)

7) bmw 325i

8) 02+ mr2 only 160 hp but car only weighs 2200 pounds you dont need much hp to be fast.

edit: keep coming up with cars i've considered.

Ditch the stang , those things have such a horrible quality

-Is300 is a good option and i think trd has a supercharger
-i didnt know that u can get 200HP legal on miata !! thats awesome , sucks that i dont fit in it ... only the model fits me (i am 6'3")
-BMWs are nice looking and powerfull , not reliable and lots of money to fix , as been indicated by MaskedMan
- who said MR2s had 160 ??? they have like 13x hp , i belive they have the 1.8 engine found in 7th gen Celica GTs , that engine has no torque what so ever
- 280Zs are NICE , i like that ca alot , but as for any swapped car , specially old(er) , reliabilty can be questionable
