Answer 1

You seem to want a car that has a combination of features and characteristics that will very difficult to find. Fast cars are expensive to insure and will not be fuel efficient. Older and cheap fast cars have most likely been run hard and not maintained well.

I suggest going middle of the road with a Honda Civic. They are reliable, get decent gas mileage, look good, are relatively cheap to insure, and there are thousands of after-market parts available to improve looks and performance. Add the parts that give it a rare and unique look, and make it fast. And you can do it as you get the money -- you don't need all the money up front.

Answer 2

Acura Integra

but check with your insurance co. first some have been charging inflated rates for these cars.
