What would be the best road course car for around 15k?

Just like the title states,

I'm looking for the best road course car for around 15K. Or 10k + 5k in mods, ect...

I was personally thinking;

Higher Mileage SS or WS6

350Z

RX-8 (Dime a dozen)

Older M3

Better ideas, let's hear them!

I actually know where there is one for sale, ready to run! Miatas have a devout following, and a lot of people track those cars. The one I mention has a cage, suspension, hardtop and a small list of goodies that makes it track ready. IIRC, about $11k is what he wants to see for it, and that leaves you $4k to get after the motor, and whatever else you want to tinker with.

I'll get the address,

Cozzolino Motorsports
4444 Decatur Blvd, # 600
Indianapolis, IN 46241

01-02 M3, 01-03 330Ci Supercharged would be my first choice

1987 Chevy Sprint turbo would be bad as*, with 5K dropped into it.
