3-4g's for a fast vdub

Obviously $3000 wont get a 10 second car, but what would you guys suggest for about that much money? I was thinking along the lines of a 90' gti 16v or something...unless i found a cheap corrado around. I want a car that I can tuck the wheels, (vw's look good like that), have a better exhaust, and maybe put in a chip in all for 3-4 thousand. (Have to save money for college...) Thanks.
