300 ZX TT vs. Trans Am

Looking to buy a new car in January.
Will be a car driven daily, but performance is my main priority.
Thinking of either a 90-92 300zx twin turbo, OR, a 95-01 Trans Am 5.7L.
(it is absolutely mandatory that the car is a manual)
I've heard the z has about 280hp, and the trans am just pushing 300, but I'm caught in the middle.
Japanese turbo or american muscle?
ALSO, I should note I have 1 12" JL w7. With the z being an older car, would there be more work I'd have to do about the rattling than in a newer trans am?

Looking for either car for under 12k, what's the better deal; performance & cost wise.

Well of course the Trans Am wins in cost. Cheap performance is practically the definition of american muscle. Even though it will require more money for upkeep I would go twin turbo. Come on, its twin turbo.
