I've either owned, or driven, all of the following cars. Any are great choices in that price range:

Acura NSX (the NSX got more power in 97, it's identical in speed to a current M3. Get a 2002+ for modern non-pop-up lights if that's your thing.)

BMW M3 (good car, practical too with back seats. Very bland looks, and every Asian college girl has a 3-series where I live, lol.)

Lotus Esprit V8TT (very fast, poor practicality, draws a happy crowd at every gas refill)

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (not the new 997, last-gen 996 series, say a 2002. Great car, but also a dime a dozen depending where you live.)

Corvette Z06 (wasn't for me, piece of shit build quality, interior makes a rental car seem rich...very fast though, go drive one)

If it were me, it's the Lotus or NSX. Those two are the most exciting to drive on the list above by far. They're also not very practical, though the NSX has good trunk space and can be a commute car without a problem. Lotus is much faster however. Real toss up.
