Looking for the Best $30K Street Racing Machine

Alright, car enthusiasts, I need your expertise. I’ve got around $30,000 to spend and want to get something that’s not just fast but also reliable for street racing. I’m torn between going for something newer with decent stock performance or picking up an older model and putting some cash into mods. What would you recommend? I’m leaning toward something with a solid aftermarket scene, but I’m open to suggestions. Any hidden gems or personal favorites in that price range? Let’s hear your thoughts! :automobile::dashing_away:

For $30,000, consider a used Subaru WRX STI or a Ford Mustang GT both offer strong performance and a thriving aftermarket. If you prefer modding, older models like the Nissan 370Z or BMW M2 can be great platforms for upgrades. Reliability-wise, newer options like the Honda Civic Type R are also worth exploring.
