What is the best Used Sports Car buy around?

SPORTS CAR

If you wanted a single used sports car what would it be - and why?

The criteria are rather simple:

The car needs to be very fast, turn and stop very well - be reasonably conservative with fuel consumption (as this car is going to be your daily driver - to work and home and the shops.)

close to the magical 4s 0-60, 180mph topend potential, screaming 1/4 mile, 60-0 in 100ft, 1G+ lateral load ability... you are allowed to modify your used car to reach these levels of performance - but tell us the purchase price + mod amount (be realistc, offer and post actual examples )

The car needs to be able to hold it's own on drives through the countryside and when you take the car to a local race track, turn in decent lap times and even be able to withstand some drag racing abuse.

The car needs to be a survivor and be able to turn over 120,000 miles without a problem and reasonably affordable to repair and service

There needs to be enough space inside to take you briefcase and laptop, and a bunch of shopping bags of groceries - but it's used so might not be your only car - bu tneeds to be more practical than a Super 7

The car also needs to be a reasonably affordable to insure on a family budget and finally - be affordable to purchase at under $45,000 including mods..

It also must be usable rain or shine - in climates with snow fall, you may assume that you dont need to drive on unplowed roads.

In short - what used sports car is the best bang for the buck - state your reasons and budget you worked with.
