You should be able to get a hold of a 240 with an SR20 in it for around $6k, in good condition. Take out the interior and those things are fun, also, Miata's should do a good job as well.
Base model WRXs suck on track, you will just end up swapping a sti drivetrain into it. S2000s are fun but not the most reliable and they are terrible in the rain. SR20 and reliable shouldn't be used in the same sentence together, they also make terrible track cars. Look at all the work DSG put into theirs and its still slow.
