Slightly Modified: 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo

I must be getting old...because I find myself turned off by heavily modified sports cars.  Doesn't matter if they are stanced or lifted or just Pepboys bolt-on stick-on pimped...I just feel an overwhelming sense of meh when I see something that was sporty from the factory and is now modified.  It is one thing to shove a V8 into the front of some slow old Volvo, but do you really expect some 20 year old Best Buy employee to make an MR2 better than the guys from the factory?  Seriously?  But, this next Mister Two might just have the guts to get a pass from the grizzled old man inside...and I might just enjoy driving it. Find this 1993 Toyota MR2 offered for $12,480 in Reno, NV via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!

Could Be Fun: 1972 Ford Pinto

When the Ford Pinto was first released for the 1971 model year, it was supposed to be a light weight import fighter, but a lack of power and a design flaw in the fuel tank relegated the little mini-pony to the back of the history books.  But today's example isn't your grandma's Pinto.

20k: Quattrollin: 2001 Audi S4 B5; RS4 look 550hp

The B5 generation Audi S4 was introduced in 1994 and featured a longitudinally mounted engine mated to a front transaxle with optional quattro all-wheel-drive. The hottest version released to the US market was the twin-turbo equipped S4 and it was in this generation that Audi started to legitimately challenge BMW in the compact luxury sports-sedan wars. Turn up the boost, slap on some fender flares and dial up the everything to 11 to build your own RS4, or just buy today's feature.  Find this 2001 Audi S4 B5 for $26,000 asking (but the seller assures us he is considering all offers above $20k) in Chicago, IL via quattroworld.com forums.  Seller submission from Paul Y.
