A 92 BMW 318i has similar specs as the 92 Prelude except for the Honda being FWD.
If you can find a 92 Prelude Si, it would have a bump in power at high RPMs over the 318i but the performance ends up being very similar to a Civic Si because the Civic weighs 500 pounds less.

A nice list but I think the years listed are way over the price range being considered. A couple have already been mentioned. The Mister Two (MR2) is a nice platform but I would hesitate to recommend a turbo to a driver lusting for power if they have not had some sort of advanced training. A 92 VW GTI 16V is a decent car but I do not know if one that old would be reliable enough.
