"(keeping small 27 year old budget in mind )"
That's the beauty of what you're doing...you're only 27 and have lots of time on your side to experiment with multiple cars over the years!
I didn't start doing DE events until about a year and a half ago when I was 47 and I regret not starting 25 years ago! When I knew I wanted to start DE, I got rid of my Boxster because I wanted more hp. But even though I'm progessing as a driver, I'm realistic enough to know that the abilities of my car make me a look a LOT better than I actually am.
If I was 27, I would start with a car that would force me to be a better driver without all of the nanny items (PASM, etc.) that I have in my car.
