Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4. Twin Turbo V6 pushes 320 horsepower stock and brings power to all four wheels for incredible launches and traction. Cruising at 100 feels like 65, and feel free to turn at ease with ABS brakes and AWS--All four wheels help with turning. Runs mid 13 quarter miles stock, and can easily run 11's with simple tuning. If you know what you're doing and have a small chunk of money burning a hole in your pocket, you can see the car to 10's.

But though it is a very rare and under-rated sports car... there's a reason I bumped it off my top three favorite cars list. Power to weight ratio is no where near superb. Even with AWS, it lacks the finesse of lighter, zippier cars. It's very expensive also. A 93 model will run you 12-15k just for the car, depending on condition. So if you want to compare cars of the same year.. two cars come to mind:
1st Gen GSX which has been known and proven to run 10's and sometimes 9's daily driven--Couple thousand for the car, couple thousand for the mods.
240sx with silvia swap plus mods to bring it up to 400 hp--6-8k for the car, 3k for the swap, another 3k or so for supporting mods.

Just for a reminder, these are my top 3 cars:
BMW M5 - Luxury Sedan at it's finest
Porsche Boxster S - Luxury Roadster, zippy, Car and Driver's top ten 5+ years and counting.
Dodge Viper SRT-10 - Raw American Sports Car Power.

And yes, they aren't the best cars to tune, but these cars are my stock car daily driver use to get girls and have bragging rights cars. If I want to soop up a car... why would I do it on a 50k+ vehicle?

That's what 2 grand project cars are for.
