I have a 2004 Cooper. All that car needs is another 60 HP or so, a Cooper S would be a blast. I took it on a BMW club backroad drive and was easily able to gain ground in the corners but fell behind on the straights. Of course, I was following a 400+ whp LS1 240Z and a Z4M roadster. Interior of mine looks great with 65k, so they wear well. Great shifter, great steering, suprisingly roomy interior, it's a great little car.

MS3 is a great suggestion. I would also look at a GTi, Cobalt SS, and WRX. What about a 370Z or RX8? The Hyundai Genesis coupe is also a LOT of car for the money. You could also consider a Mustang GT or Camaro.
