it was also my $2006 challenge car, 16th in the autocross with only a set of hoosier A6's and went 15.12 at the drags.
so my vote would be 2nd-gen probe gt, followed by pretty much any hatch with folding seats and a manual transmission.
+1
I did the extension ladder thing as well with my 95 PGT. I hauled one of those plastic race car bed frames home in it too.
