Lexus SC300. A cheap luxury car with the non-turbo'd supra engine (also RWD). Could probably get one for about 5-10k easily. they also come in V8's (SC400)

Yeah, can't go wrong with the SC platform. Prices are low for this luxury sports car (IMO), but only if you don't mind riding in a 15 year old car...

Several on sale around me between $5-8K, some with nice mods too...

If I remember correctly, they're mostly automatics except with the 2JZ-GE which is still pretty rare. Then again, if you want the auto you should just give'r, they're cheap, abundant and RWD. I'm not too sure how much power the auto can hold but just remember, this is the Supra engine (if you get the SC300) we're talking about. You could hit 500hp easily, 800hp with a bit of money and 1,000hp with a built engine.
