modding a car for performance is a smackload of issues. you want fairly cheap, great, daily driven realiability, and environmentally friendly, you can't go wrong with a jackson racing equipped SVT...
supa fast, supa reliable.
But if you're looking to buy new, and you're more go than show.. honestly, buy a 2005 or newer... get 150HP out of the box instead of 130, with tonnes more potential.. all in a rental car sleeper shell. and if you want a bit more show, go Mazda 3 (same go as newer focuses and should retain more resale).
If you want out of the box performance in a new vehicle that is relatively cheap, SRT-4 is a smokin' fast car.
If you're going ghetto.. get a used 2002 SVT, and turbo the bejesus out of it. and if you're going ultra ghetto, go for a used 2002 Zetec and turbo the sweet bejesus out of it.
