I've seen it far too many times, from kids to adults that ought to know better, having too much attention and next thing you know, they're on the table in my mortuary.
I feel that the 240 is a pretty decent starter: lots of aftermarket, RWD, MT available.

This. Having a fast car is cool and all, but the kids in my high school a while ago with their fast cars crashed them from being idiots. You may have better self control, but it's a lot different when you have it. This question is not meant to be offensive, but are you buying the car or your parents? I have also noticed that when it's your own money involved that you are more careful with it...

I'd get a FWD/AWD car. First is the snow. Second, it's a lot harder to regain control of a RWD once you have lost it. It takes practice and patience. Get something reliable.
Civic Si, Golf GTI, RSX...
