My brother is looking for some used cars but i know him and he wants to change from the old v8 world of mustangs to tuner boosted vehicles. Just curious what would be the best bang for his buck as far as "quick" car with asthetic appeal.

eg: hatch is out of the question lol

Right now he is looking at the later 90 model talons. Just looking for suggestions. Figure 400ish hp bolt on would be nice. However he will do some building if it is worth it.
