Probably one of the quickest cars around for that price is the Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo. I believe one magazine tested it at 0-100 in 14.5 secs which is pretty good. Handling only just copes though! Nicely specced, sounds really nice in an Audi UR Quattro 5 cylinder type way and still looks fresh even now IMO.

Toyota GT4. You'll get an ST205 (newer model) for £6,500.

If you fancy something that won't get too much attention, how about Volvo T5 or Subary Legacy bi-turbo

Got to be an MR2 Turbo - 250ish bhp - right price range for a rev 3(after 94).
Insurance about £700 through owners club (points shouldn't make much difference).
