Best/Fastest Car for around 20k.?

Question

Im going to get a new car soon. I have around 20k to spend on it. I was thinking of going with a honda civic si. But the civic si is rather slow doing 0-60 in about 6.7. I'm not sure if i can put a turbo on it. I prefer sports coupes with fast 0-60 times between 5-6 seconds. Essentially as fast as possible with around 20 grand. I can buy it used or new. I prefer Japanese cars because of their reliability. I will most likely modify the internals and put a body kit on the car. I'll settle for used cars, or new cars. Im also not sure what new cars are coming out. Just some cars i was thinking of were:

Civic Si

Mitsubishi Eclipse GT

Cobalt SS

Used Lancer Evolution 8/9

Used Dodge Srt-4

Used Acura RSX

Used Acura Integra

Used Mazda RX-7

Used Supra Turbo

Used Celica GTS

Used 350z

Any other suggestions?
