Well if handling a speed are the major factors then the RX7 R1 should be
your choice. The general feeling is that the RX7 R1 packaged car is the
closest thing to a road going race car that you can get. Be warned that
the RX7 R1 does not come close to offering the comfort and conveniences
the the 300ZX and 3000GT do. I have driven all three cars and power wise
they are all pretty close but handling wise none of them come close to
the RX7. I would also give a 93 Corvette a try, its the only one I know
of that has the adjustable suspension and maybe a used Porsche 911. You
really can't go wrong with any of the above choices, go out and drive
all three and pick one.
