if your looking to spend that much, you MIGHT be able to find a 94 LS for around that. it depends on which body style you like more. you can do your basic intake, header, exhaust, hi flow cat, but of your really looking for power, you can do an ls-vtec conversion, or turbo down the line. dont forget suspension, audio, looks, etc. you could spend thousands on your car. heres a quick comparison of the different generations:
