Have you considered one with the engine at the front? I know they're "wrong"
but they're also much less expensive and apparently much less likely to kill
you in spirited driving.
At some point when my cash-flow situation becomes much more positive its
something I'm going to investigate.

My son would like
to buy a fixer-upper and then he and I would fix it up in
my shop on
weekends. EBay has them from $8000 (a parts car or major
fixer-upper)
up to about $30,000 currently. We're just trying to get an
idea of
whats available, prices, whether the rich guys suggest was correct,
etc.
Thanks,
