Now I know it can't be a porsche, but what do you all think? Can be new or what the car generally goes for used. Please don't say just save for a better car because that is not an option.

I guess it would depend on your definition of "best". But, if best = fun, hands down, an used S2000 for $20k.

I had one for almost a year, and it was best cars I'd ever owned in terms of making you feel like one with the machine. Suzuka Blue '02 purchased new.

I've driven or ridden in a lot of cars at the track (road racing), and as far as stock goes, the S2000 is right up there with the best of them. Handling was so rewarding. With a PRM intake, it sounded damn close to a Modena at full song. I can totally see myself owning one again in the future.
