7m gte 88 or so gt soarer would be your best bang for buck, dont go the 1g gte as they are too heavy to make the engine any good.
Problem is most of them have auto transmissions, but still.. ive been in one and it still flew...
they are like 1500kg and make 179kw at the flywheel stock or something close to that.
or u could do something stupid like me and waste all ya money on an 84 soarer with a 1jz
...

i got a mz20 4/90 built.. one of the last.. literally.
there great cars.. but i got a blown headgasket.. pain in the ass!!!! 7m gte is very prone to this.. its got a replacement.. original engine in it . so that means the original gasket has gone! im looking at getting it done.. anyone have any idea of price?? from a workshop , im no mechanic!!
but.. if ur seriously thinking of getting one.. great one im so happy with mine aye.. it looks a million bucks and its close to stock except for a 3 in turbo back system i got for it.
they handle so well for such a big car.. and if u run into hsv's n shit.. they jus wave goodbye to them!

if your looking for performance.. dont even touch the 1g ones.. they are too heavy for an engine that size

i got a bhg on mine.. but its not like its gonna cost tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$.. but if u can find one thats had a metal gasket and ideally new head bolts ( ARP  ) and tourqed to like 75 ibs... your onto a winner!!
i was sitting in mine this morning.. coz i cant drive it.. and i just get the impression of build quality is just so good amd the design.. apart from the head gasket problem is just amazing .. its one of those cars.. u could look it from any angle and it looks.. $$$$$
