I am not sure why you want to limit yourself to imports, but its your money. Thats quite a spread of cars you've listed. You've got everything from grocery getter to sports car. (assuming you have the V8 in the bird) you'll want to go with 300zx or Supra because of the similar performance. I'd shy away from the RX7 unless you'd like working on rotory engine.

The rest are competent cars, and the 240 is a nice combination of performance/price. If it were me picking from that list, I'd lean towards the Z.

The Supra is the king of the list, but like most royalty, you're going to pay up the ass to it.

I believe the Supra, at least the twin-turbo, would be highly unrealistic in your price situation as well. They sell for quite a lot, nowadays. Also, I prefer to shy away from Honda's in general; but, then again, I'm a 'bit partial towards RWD cars. Also, I wouldn't choose a Celica either, but that's just because of the previously stated fact that I don't like FWD cars. Of that entire list, though, I'd have to say... go with the 300ZX TT, or the 240SX. The RX-7 is also a VERY nice vehicle, but unless you're a "car-freak," and LOVE to work on cars, then it probably wouldn't be the car for you. RX-7's require quite a 'bit of care and attention.

There's my .
