I don't know what to buy! Help! Keep in mind this will be my daily driver. But I also think the MS6 is too boring as my DD.
330 WHP '04 Stillen 350z (under $24k):

This car is done. I can buy it and drive it. No mods needed, not even wheels. This is kind of what I'm looking for since I'm not a big mod guy myself. Stock internals are supposed to be good for 400 WHP, and tranny, about 350. But I'm still worried about the tranny. Some 03's and 04's had tranny problems, and adding 100HP probably won't help in that case.
'07 350z with low miles (under $20k):
I'll get a stock one. I wouldn't be modding it much so I'd get the reliability and warranty, but not nearly as much power or handling. I actually like the body kit on the Stillen, so that's another negative. All told, this would be the practical solution. It's cheap, reliable as hell and still has decent performance.
'10 Hyundai Genesis Coupe (only if I can get one under $25k):
This is the most expensive option which makes it lose some practicality points. But it's got the most luxury. Proximity key, bluetooth, leather heated seats, heated mirrors, moon roof, back seats, etc. However it's the worst in performance, being just slightly under the '07 350Z. This would probably be the longest lasting car.
'99-'05 turbo'd miata (under $10K):
I don't like to mod much and i'm certainly not adding a turbo so I'd have to buy one that's already had it done. Then again, I have no idea of the quality of the job, so that's risky right there. This is the least practical car out of all my choices but has the potential to be a lot of fun. Another downfall is that I would need a winter car if I went this route.
