So far you're the only person in this thread besides me to list anything that's RWD.
My only problem with those suggestions is I don't (at least IMO) see many of them as being better than the twin he has now and he could probably just buy his lease out. The Audi B5 would be pretty sweet though as a DD and get him 4 doors, although unless it's beat I think it'd be hard to find one under 10k. If you had $75k to spend, there's actually a
handful of real honest to goodness B5 RS4 Avants floating around in the US.
If you do end up with another sports car, I'd recommend against a Z... they're pigs on weight and the power differential doesn't make up for it unless you put a lot of work into them. VQs are meh, although there's a few folks out there with very nice custom fabbed twin turbo setups laying down real numbers. If you're not going to dump piles of money into it, the only 350Z worth having is the 2007-2008 Nismo 350Z, but they're like $17k+
Twins are at a serious value sweet spot. They aren't that impressive on the numbers, although they handle very nicely and are quite quick, but they're very cheap for what you get. If you've got money to burn there's lots of better cars out there, but if you're on a tight budget only the Twins and Miatas really scratch that itch.
