Wow so much input. Thanks all. Lots to think about. Leaning towards a fox body at this time. No honda for me, just cant do it. Possibly DSM depending on what deal I can find. You guys rock. Many thanks.

there are no 1990 MR2s. The Mk IIs started in '91.
'93+ MR2s are more expensive.
P.S. They are also a b*tch to work on and aftermarket parts are limited and pricey.

I was thinkin' Fox body first, myself. The other option, although possibly rare out here (I don't really know) would be a turbo Buick (Grand National or Regal). Easy, easy 12s on a nearly stock setup, and the potential to go way faster in a completely streetable car.

you know Dave, you don't need to get a Grand National...
just get a plain old firebird/camaro rs or v6 or even an old regal of the same year and drop the GN drivetrain in it.
The turbo regal is the same as a GN (almost)
3.8L V6 with a big turbo that is capable of 500 HP on the stock bottom end. 14s stock. 9s highly modified...
think about it.
tranny options are endless
manual or auto (4L80E/powerglide/ 2004R/TH350/TH400)
