Mitsubishi 3000 gt I think the last two years they were made they came with all wheel drive. Go with the stock 300+ horse one I think it is the xte or xts or something.

Lincoln LS V8 (sorry no awd) Those things are sweet. If you are considering a mustang, get an LS, those newest mustangs are so bulky and would never be as enjoyable as an LS.

One last thought, an older Porsche. Cheap on ebay, awkward and uncomfortable as anything, but you know, they're fun.

Didn't deloreans come with AWD?

Sorry the first two were more serious, you should go to Audiusa.com and check out the S4's that are certified. They are warrantied for 100000 (but watch the wording about or 7years after the first original sale date) (Cause a 2000 is on it's way to not having much warranty)

If you want one that is cheaper (if you live in Cali or New York or something) there is a Texas Dealer that is cheaper than most. They advertise on ebay a lot. Certified and Cheap.

26036 Dallas

But I can't recognize the one that is usually super cheap, they have 72 cars with in 500 mile of dallas with a cert under 20K. Ooo, you should upgrade to an A6 with the 2.7t (sorry I drive an A6)

I think they had an 01 A4 1.8 t for 15000.
No S4's though. Bummer.

The Mitsu's are/were heavy AND slow. Big mods are avail to address the slow part, but it'll still B heavy.

LS will also be heavy. ANd slo. But, also, being a FERD, Mustang mods generally work on it, too. But, most decent mods will void your warranty.

Older Porsche's are a good option. Do a l'il homework and you can get a LOT of car for $20K. Goto: http://www.oklahomaforeign.com/ and click on "vehicles." Scroll down... Thy've got a couple of late model 911's for half what you're thinking of spending, leaving you LOTS of $$$ for mods. Just remember, rear-engined Porche's, especially the older model 911 prefer gentle throttle increase, or steady-state throttle openings during conering, or you'll leave the road backwards.

NO!!! DeLoreans NEVER came in AWD. (well, prototypes, but never production models)
