If you put 50k miles/year, then you must do alot of highway driving. With that in mind, if you cruise at 75-80mph, you will spend a considerable amount of gas $$ if you choose to go with a 2L/2.5L evo or Sti. With $20k, you can find a pretty good one capable of doing 12's without losing any long term reliability.
Like some suggested, I would consider c5 zo6 which will give you decent highway mileage, instantenous torque, and LS reliability.
