sadly I have to go with the 240SX, turbo's are not good track cars due to their tendance to build heat quickly, and the Z32 has a lot of weight to overcome and an I4 is easier to work on that and V6 any day of the week, my L6 can be out of the car in half an hour but makes for a crappy DD, and when you say "track car" I assume you mean HPDE because to run on real track events you'll spend 5k on saftey gear! the 240sx also has a great deal more aftermaket than the Z31

lol, I have a 71 240z turbo beast, and 87 300ZX turbo gonna be a beast and a 91 300ZXTT stock but with ailing turbo's so they might get upsized, if you smell exhaust fumes you're going to slow! feel free to check out our classic z section, now that we've totally threadjacked this poor guys thread

the z32 is much more of a track car than the other two you mentionned, and the NA makes a decent track car anyways.

actually a better answer would be an SE-R, lightweight, lots of race support due to the SE-R cup series, sorry guys the Z32 isn't a "track" car it's a touring car
