Rep Power: 0 300zx twin turbo. Don't get a 90 or 96, those years have problems, but 91-95 are fine. The twin turbo is a 2 seater and capable of making some big power. The N/A 300zx is a 2+2 and still pretty nice but a bit longer.
That'll make you a lot faster than any of your friends, unless one of them happens to have a Porsche GT1 or something 
for 7g, I'd put that down on 2000 or newer year model bmw, cause I've sen them at 13,000 down here where i live. but you're looking for a project car that's stock turbo,so............betcha you could probably get an srt-4 with warranty.LOL

you should go with either the rx-7, 300zx or the supra. dont get a hatch and turbo it, that's what you call ultimate rice, and i dont think it'd look good with your friends' rides either. Two of my friends have 300zx's one's over 400hp, and the other a few hp shy of 400 also, and lemme tell you it's a dang fast car. My friend with the lesser hp zx is gona sell his zx TT, get a 2+2 zx build up the motor and then turbo it, cuz he's gona be doing all the labor himself. another friend of mine has the old school rx-7 the FC, it's a sweet car to consider too if you dont mind it being an old car. you can go with the FD rx-7 also but it being rotory it might be a pain to maintain. and dont even consider a supra if it's not a turbo model, cuz it's dang slow cuz the body is really heavy. well that's just my 2 cents for you.

Your a moron....how can you say boosting a hatch is the ultimate rice? a gsr turbo hatch would own your friends 400hp 300zx anyday of the year.

The FD3S and even turbo II FC3S are not beginner cars, or toy cars either. RX-8 or NA FC3S are pretty much trouble free as long as you understand that rotaries consume oil by design.
You also sound like someone who wants this car for the "image" or to "keep up with the jones'." You mention what all your "friends" drive. If that's the case stay away from rotaries. They require a certain type of driver willing to do the special care.
If you must, get an NA model, but I agree with the 240SX idea. Drop in a SR20DET and have a virtually trouble free, fast, RWD car.

Maybe you should say the FD3S is a pain to maintain due to the rat's nest sequential twin turbo setup. Or maybe you should mention the overheating problems the FD3S has.
BTW you can remedy these problems with a 99+ FD3S larger radiator and oil coolers, along with a simplified ball bearing, quick spooling, single turbo setup. Alot of guys use a single ball bearing T3/T4.
