I mean this in the most respectful, and most starightforward way I can put it. You need a bigger budget if you want a used car that can take most(90%??) other cars on the road.
No matter what you have, their are as many cars out their that will eat you up as their are that you can blow the doors off. In almost all cases, he with the most money, when it comes to cars, wins. The only time that doesnt happen is when several are real close moneywise, but one knows a whole lot more about cars, or knows someone who does.
Plus, you havet stated wat you want to do as far as taking eother cars. Top speed, 1/4 mile times, 0-60 MPH time, road racing around curving roads, etc etc. A 5000 mid-late 90's Eclipse will get its *** handed to it by a high end sedan on top end and probably ecceleration, but will eat it alive on tight curvy roads.
The best bang for the buck is a cheaper hot hatch that you can spend little on the actual car(91-94 small Japan made cars with V-6's can run as little as 2500) then you can dump the other almost 20K into the engine, drivetrain, and suspension. Also, if you only looking for the speed and handling, weight is the biggest enemy, so take out everything you can.
I have actually seen many street legal stripped down cars sell on ebay reasonable for what they are and how fast they go, check their as well.

If you want to buy a high quality used car with a lowest price for the most reliable,I suggest you try auto auctions.For $21000 budget,you can buy a very cool used car.
There are there kinds of car auctions.
Dealer only auctions --- only licensed dealers are allowed to buy or sell cars,You can not get in or bid without being a licensed car dealer or an employee.
Public auctions --- the public is allowed in.In fact,you usually cant by anything from public 'open' auctions because usually the pricing is too high.
Government and Police auctions --- Every day, the government confiscates, seizes and repossesses thousands of Vehicles.These vehicles are usually typically listed at 90% OFF their original value and auctions usually start at $100.
Two months ago,I bouht a near new SUV from online police auction.It only cost me $730 and i have not had one problem with it yet .
I followed the guide on
http://www.usedcarsinfo.info/index.php?t=usedcar .That site lists top 5 Police auction sites and help you choose the best one.
Good luck!

I would go with a Honda Civic. They last forever and you can make a lot of additions to them. Great on gas, handle well, etc. Dont get a Toyota of any kind though. Hondas are I think the best make out there.

You should be able to find a used Mustang Cobra. They can handle a lot of modifications and have enough speed to blow most of the cars off the road.
There will always be cars faster, but it is a question of how many can beat you? The cobra will be a good start. good luck

is that $210.00 or 2100.00 or 21.000.00 the answer would be Mustang. Mustangs have so many aftermarket performance upgrades available. more than just about any other car.

If you want a car, which "can take just about anything on the road," get a Hummer.
