My vote is supercharged S2k

Less neo-classic than the others, but they're not depreciating and check all the boxes.

Agree that Miata is pretty cheap to get turboed up. Get a 1.8 NA or NB with a Torsen and you don't really need to do much other than swap the clutch and add turbo setup with megasquirt.

240SX with a turbo, I know at least one guy that could give you some tips on that.

What about an E36 M3 with a twin screw supercharger?

This interests me lol.

These people have some dyno graphs of what that would look like:

That is a nice torque curve. 

That setup is insanely expensive lmao. I wish I had the skills to fab up my own stuff for things like supercharger builds.

I think this is the mostly likely route for me. Mostly because I know what I need to do and I know people who could help me.

My first thought for you would be a c5 zo6. I know not forced induction but it meets or exceeds all your other requirements and then if you want bonkers power you can add boost.

I agree with not choosing the Starion. They're a PITA just stock lol.

In reply to kanaric :

The XR4ti is pretty well supported. It’s just a Sierra (which tons of people race/track in Europe) with a generic 2.3 turbo Ford engine. Even with that boat anchor of an engine, it weighs 2900 lbs in stock form: within 50 lbs of a 4-door E30 325i. 

Buddy of mine has one behind his shop. I bet you could land it for Challenge money.
