Sure they're small, and not, uh, powerful, but isn't driving 10/10s literally every time you step into the thing worth something?
I just bought a cappucino for way under $10k and it's WAY more entertaining than a Miata to drive. It's impossible to not have a smile plastered on your face the entire time.
Alfa or Fiat Spider
Small, can be found cheap, and can be made into very fun autocross cars.
Is an X1/9 covert enough?
Spridigt?

We have a coupe 5th-gen that autocrosses with us. It used to be pretty competitive, but then with the arrival of the FiST and Abarth 500 in H/Street, it's gotten pretty outgunned. The 5SFE isn't that powerful, it doesn't have an LSD and the chassis isn't particularly great. And the parts supply has started to dry up on them. I know the owner spent months hunting down a set of Konis for it and was told that they were pretty much the last unsold set in existence. These are also from the age of a million vacuum lines, now all headed for 30 years old, which results in lots of gremlins
That budget would buy a halftrac ;)
If a miata won't do and there's 10k to play with then c5 vette seems pretty obvious to me.
what is so unreliable about a Z3? if optioned to keep them simple, they are plenty reliable. the Z3 with the M44 engine may be a bit gutless, but the engine is bullet proof and it lacks the torque to damage anything
