I'll agree with the RX-8's being a head turner... But instead of a STi or an EVO for that amount of money... I would rather buy a good worn out SVX, then transplany a fully built Cobb Tuning 2.5 motor into it. Some form of the 6 speed STi tranny... Then lighten it as light as I could get it and take it club racing ... I'd need sponsors though to pay for some of the stuff... Especially after the $30,000 it would cost to custom build the motor from Cobb and get everything tuned just right for racing...
