I can't think of a mid-size sedan with over 200hp, manual, and being Ford or GM, and also in the cheapo price range. Too bad GTPs aren't manuals.
Don't know if this was mentioned yet(didn't read the whole thread), but Gen1 and Gen2 SHO Taurus came in standard(225 HP)and you can pick up a 95 for less then $5K.

I can't drive a manual yet and I'm a awesome driver, I about outran a full sized Chevy pickup in the snow(he was riding my ass and got in the other lane on a 4 lane road in town, I was showing him up)in my dad's 02 Ford Ranger(Auto of course)and I stayed in 2wd up until 30MPH then I kicked it into 4 wheel high then gave it more gas and left the idiot.
