In regard to formula cars that may be closer to your budget, check out F500. 100hp or so, 850#s, and inexpensive tires, engines, etc. Only downside (to me) is no shifting as they have a snowmobile CVT tranny. These are very close to a kart with a cage (unless you're accustomed to running shifter karts). Just my $0.02 worth.
