Matrix... something I hadn't considered... one guy goes to our track days with an ?xrs, is that the supercharged version? I'll have to look into that.

If I am looking shorter term (talking two doors and less money) why not an older somewhat built civic? The ep3 REALLY appeals to me, but I have heard they are somewhat tame without the RSX K swap?

Not sure I'm ready for a honda fit... seems very much an attempt at a tame commuter, I wanna put a smile on my face coming into the corners... change my mind?

If I could find the right RSX S I would likely have to scoop it up... if in my price range. But what about other acuras? The early TSX had the same K20 in it... comparable handling? Aftermarket support?

Not sure about VWs... havent really looked at the older models, are you thinking a vr6 or GLI? or is that way out of my current price range?

That BB6 prelude is something I used to dream about in highschool... not sure why I havent really been considering it. How do you guys think it would compare to a civic of similar era on the track?

I have seen a few g35s for sale lately... havent seriously considered one yet, I think it's hard to get one that isn't totally beat in my price range.

Thanks again for all the recommendations! Keep them coming!

Ps. If you have seen any cars listed that fit this tall order... feel free to post it here or PM me. Would really appreciate it!
The EP3 has the same K20A3 motor as the base model RSX. However, IIRC the SIR has better gear ratios than the base RSX. The TSX has a k24 motor with more power and torque, it seems to fit all your criteria. You should be able to find a manual one for 5k. Im currently dailying one and it has been great. However, I do wished it had a lower vtec crossover and higher redline..
