Since I live in Japan, and have come to like 4dr cars, I would have to say definatly a Toyota JZX 90 Mark II, Chaser, or Cresta Tourer V's. Those cars have the 1JZ twin turbo, and are just nasty on the street. They can easily keep up with lots of top end sport sedans in the market, and they are really good for drifting too. Those and the Laurel are gaining popularity in the smaller drift circuts.

MKI MR2, MKIII Supra, or a beat up 944.

Edit: Of course I'd LIKE an FC but I don't think I have the funds/patience to keep one of those damn things running, especially a turbo one. =\

Cadillac. CTS or CTS-V (depending on cashflow) or the STS or soon to come STS-V. 500 hp...mmmmmmmmmmm tasty! .

Either that or a Miata. I'd cram the Turboed V6 from the Buick Grand National in there.
