Hey fellas whats up!! So I am totally obsessed with all forms of toyota and decided to become a member after browsing the forums for a few hours. I have a few questions about buying a new car, probably in the next 2 months.
I am looking for quick car, into the 13's would be nice. I dont drive hard often (haven't lost a point yet  ) but want something that can pull hard when i need it to. I have approx 20k to spend (more if I have to). If anyone can give me some info about the pros and cons of the following it would be a great help. Doesn't have to be factual, all opinions welcome.
Lancer GSR Turbo
Laser TX3 Turbo
Integra Vti-r
R33 gtst
200sx
Mr2 turbo
celica gt4
These are the ones I have been looking at but I keep going around in circles... 
Thanks!!!

Me personaly, i'd got the GT4. (no biased opinion here) 
Now on a serious note, I'd still go the Toyota avenue.
Either the GT4 or the MR2.
If you want the most amount of grip off the line, i'd say the GT4 but if you want a car thats a little more wheel spinning fun, then go the MR2.

MR2 is still going to be one of the best there in terms of grip remember though with an engine sitting on top of the rear wheels, and then when it squats it send even more weight and henece traction there.
The only other car I'd maybe consider with your budget is a late Nissan 180SX, as none of the others (excluding MR2 and GT4) really have style
The R33 and 200SX would be not the best examples in the sub-20k price range either.

I'd personally be avoiding the integra and tx3.
an r33 in the 13-sec bracket will not be had for under $20k, if you want one in decent condition.
200sx ditto.
mr2 is a definite option, especially if you get an aus-spec one and put a jap-spec 3s-gte in it.
