Flyin Miata will sell you a turbo kit that can produce up to 250 whp out of a 1.8L engine. That's some rush.
I like the WRX's and Evo's, but worry that a breakdown in the AWD system could spell major $$$. I think "low buck" should equal "simple."
Another possibility -- Factory5 cars. Mustang V8 power, decent handling, classic "Cobra" looks, all for around $20 - $25K, depending on donor.

How about this. Subaru WRX wagon - you can haul your track tires and tools in the back, and you can put a high pressure turbocharger on to really move.
