What car would you get for 20K?

I looked at the Legacy B Spec about 3-4 years ago when they first came out, very nice but I wasn't going to pay nearly 40 after taxes for it. If it was in the low 20's I'd reconsider it. Most of the STi drivetrain without the ugly wings and a better interior.

Here's just a glimpse of pricing, not that I recommend this one. I see these prices regularly. It would be tough to find a SpecB, might be better off modding it yourself.

2005 Subaru Legacy GT Limited: Only 5000 miles, really! - $18500 (NKY)

Are turbo kits for the S2000 reliable?
EDIT: Why is the C5Z such a piece of shit? The interior isn't the best, but it is ergonomic and reliable and will provided the most bang for your buck... If not the C5Z get an E46M.

Too ugly, like the Pontiac G8 GT though but would probably never own a GM/Ford product.

Of those that you mentioned, I'd go M5 for the rarity. Or hunt down an 850ci since I've always wanted one.

G35 6-speed sedan would be an interesting playtoy.

Also, i think you are pretty safe buying a "kit" like greddy or inlinepro.
back to the question at hand:
1: a Z06 is not a piece. The only think that is junk is the materials in the interior.
2. a GTI is not a kids car. I used to own a VW R32. I love the s2000 but still feel stupid for selling the R. And as far as performance: I have seen some insanely powerful vw's that are daily driven and still clean as hell.
3. G8 GXP: Im not a huge GM fan either... but I am going to pick up one of the GXP models as soon as they come out as another car. Bang For the Buck they are amazing.
They supposedly outhandle the 5-series bmw.
Its basically a better looking better handling more comfortable and faster GTO
