I don't think you can go past the Nissan 200SX. 4 cylinder keeps then good on fuel and the turbos make 'em fast. We have put a 200SX motor in a lightweight drag car and in is pulling low 8's standard! They are also a very sporty car that are in comparison to the R33 GTS-t (which is still an awesome car) very light! The interiors are nice and luxury too! Good luck!
