what would be my best bet with HP out of current stock models under 25,000?

You can get an Acura Integra Type R for less than 25K. They come stock with 195 HP on a 4 banger and limitless potential for modifications. Are you looking for a domestic or import car?

I would say a VW GTI 1.8T.

Dodge SRT-4
Turbo charged 2.4L with 205hp 220lb for under $20k.
I don't know how much they will be equiped and they are '03 so it will be something before they come out.

You are looking at new/used?

Don't Z28's start below $25,000? If not find one a year old. You are not going to find more than 305 HP for that price.

The new Acura RSX Type-S has about 200hp and I believe you can buy it for less than $25k.

I just bought a new Maxima for 26k, 260 hp, Bose stereo, 160 mph speedometer. This car is a rocket.

I've come to the decision that it doesn't make any difference how fast a car is if the design is bad enough to make you want to kill yourself.

No offence to any RSX owners but I think the styling of that car is nothing new. It looks like a Civic and the Civic looks like a Focus. I'd rather that they kept the original body style of the integra and put a faster motor in there. Just my opinion though. I respect the engine but that car doesn't excite me.

While that particular Acura doesn't look "incredible" in my eyes either, I've read countless articles stating that this car is a lot of fun to drive. I believe it comes with all sorts of options that are "standard" in this car . For the price, it does seem that you get quite a car. Just my .02

performance is the camaro, and the subaru WRX in my opinion.

What about an early 90's M5 or M3? i think you can get one for about 25K. Or a used C4 or C5 (don't know if the C5's are that cheap yet.)
