i'm goin to be alittle biased on my answer but i'd say get a nice 240sx and turn it to a silvia. however, a stock miata will out corner a stock 240 since its alot lighter and it feels more tossable. but i think the 240 chassis is more solid sooo it can handle high horsepower better then a old Z or a miata. just food for thought.

240sx is what I'm goin for... just gotta save for a while

You would be surprised how much horsepower those old Z cars (rust free ones anyways) can handle... I saw one with a supercharged LS1... It was a 10 sec or so car... about 600 hp... Probably cost a hell of a lot to make that work tho...

WOW! Aparently none of you know anything about japanese cars. First off if you get a Mazda Miata keep the stock engine if you get a model with the B8 1.8L DOHC 16V motor. It is very suitable for turbocharging and or supercharging....not to mention it doesn't take much power to make it fast. And whoever said put a 5.0 in it.....I should slap you...never take a japanese car and put a trash american v8 in it, that's only going to make it into an unbalanced piece of crap. If your going to get the 280zx....the stock L28 can only handle so much power, the real way to go is the SR20DETor the RB25DET which is the most common swap in Japan. As for the 240SX, its a good idea but due to the recent drift obsession the price of everything and anything 240SX has been jacked into the sky, but I have multiple friends building up 240's and they are really good, long running, fast ass cars once you toss in its real engine. (SR20DET) I say screw all of them and buy a FD!!!!!!!!!
