Need Help Choosing Out a First Tuner Car!

[johnk12845]

Hello guys,
I am going to be in the market of buying a first car in February to April of 2010. I am looking for one for under $15,000, used of course. I was looking for some feedback of some good tuner cars that I can find for under $15,000 either modified already, or partially modified, or really even stock. I am really looking for a car that will turn some heads in the school parking lots, and is quick also. But I also want one that won't burn a huge hole in my pocket for insurance. My favorite car is the 350z and am looking for a '03 models of it for under $15k, but thats without mods. I want some other suggestions also, and would greatly appreciate it.

I have been around cars all my life, and even since I was young was around them. I helped out my uncle at Thompson Toyota a lot in PA. I really want a car that turns heads, is a "show stopper", and is quick when it needs to be. Shoot me some ideas!
