It is when you want to go north of 500WHP that it starts to get real expensive and involved.

i would go for a zo6... as someone here said they already come with the HP u want and they are beautiful. i want to get one myself. NSX's are slow as hell. have u driven one? if not drive one and ull definetly scratch it off ur list. NSX=over priced and over rated even with 10k invested. IMO

If you're thinking of $25k modded to your liking, then you're looking for something in the $20s with room to spare.
Depending on how picky you are, NSX in the very $20s (from what I've seen) will have higher mileage, some small issues.....
If you're still interested in the NSX, just check on nsxprime and pm the owners.
There's a good one, '91 with 99k miles in the low $20s
However, I think you should cross the NSX off your list and stick to the vette like what a lot of people mentioned here.

M3's are quite heavy. Weight is one of his primary concerns...not speed from factory, seeing he's planning on boosting and tuning to get to 400hp.
The 911 would be pretty decent, although I don't really know much about its tuning capabilities. A quick look at my local Craigslist tells me it's a little over the price range, but it does come with a fantastic engine to start with.
S2000 or 350z would be pretty cool too. S2k is a great handling car, and it's lightweight to boot. I'm not too sure about a 240sx though...as it's far far under his price range for the actual vehicle. I think he's looking at starting with a nicer base and working from there.
But in the end, I do think the Z06 would be the best choice in this scenario. It's not too heavy, and it puts out plenty of performance without requiring any tuning. It looks great, and I presume it handles great, seeing as it's a sports car, although I've never been in one.

I know. I love 993s... Everyone else was throwing out suggestions that don't meet the criteria either so I thought I would too!
