What are some faster cars?

I'm looking into buying a car that is fast and sort of a racing car I guess you could say. I was looking into the 2010 Subaru Impreza (because those are very nice cars and perform very well) but I'm really not sure if I want to put that much money into a car right now. I really just would like to know what cars come stock that don't have many problems if taken care of. I also like the Dodge Charger daytona (my friend owns one) and am looking for something like that. I'm not worried about price/manual/automatic or anything really, just looking for ideas right now. Thanks :)
