Honda Prelude could be fun. Or a an Impreza 2.5 RS (1st Gen) could be real cool if you can find one.

Lexus SC300 with the 5 speed is what I've got. You'll have a hard time finding one, let alone one that isn't ragged out.

Any 90's/early 2000's Honda Civic, Predule, Del-Sol, they're fun to drive. Unless you get the top spec models with VTEC they will be ***** slow, but who cares. They are very light and handle well. Any Honda 4 cylinder loves to rev, are smooth, and sound good. Plus Hondas have a light clutch and a great throw on the gearbox.

1989 Firebird 2.8 V6. Wasn't the fastest one on the block, but it was still a fun drive. I think it would have been perfect with the 5.7 though.
