Any pre-1975 V8 american car. I say pre-75 because that's when catalytic converters killed everything. Depending on the state, you can't get away with ditching them. A 350 engine is easily modified to 400+ hp NA. Big blocks can do far more. I'd recommend a Corvette because they handle well and look good, but most any car from the era will do well for straight line speed. You'll also feel like you're going fast in these cars more than in modern ones.

Last gen turbo Rx-7 or Supra

Turbo AWD Eclipse/talon

The turbos in these cars are easily tweaked. Rx-7's look great and handle well. I have a friend who put I think $4k into his Rx-7, and matches Z06's on 60-100 times (the vette would destroy it from 0-60 though).
