Miata? Thats the obvious choice that comes to mind.
edit. Those other cars aren't really in the same class as a Miata.

Driving RWD's in Canadian Winters=Instant driftage. Especially in a Miata.
I put the Corolla GT-S on there because I've heard it's an amazing little zippy car. And, of course, the most expensive one on the bloody list, the RX7FD is the most popular
Thanks.

True dat. I'm highly considering waiting until the '06 RX-7's are released. But I don't know if they'll have the turbos, and that turns me off.
Maybe I should elaborate more.
Firstly, I would imagine the AE86 Corolla would be way more than any of these other cars simply because of the drift scene going on. They aren't very common anymore either, so that rarity also adds to its cost. I'd imagine its a fun car though.
The 2nd gen RX7 is getting old. Turboed Rotarys wern't the pinnicle of relibility either. Unless you want to fix it every other weekend instead of driving it, I suggest stay away.
240sx Turbo? Didn't know they came turboed, heh. Sorry, no experience with these, no input on this one.
Old Supras are just big boats. Too heavy.
The Miata on the other hand, is a VERY reliable car. The Miata is also a convertible (Might be a bit too cold in Canada though). The Miata is also very reliable even with boost, as its original engine was a turboed engine ripped from another car (323 GTX). You can run 6 PSI systems safely with no change in internals and worries about blowing something. Horsepower rating depends on the kit, and engine you go with. Mods are cheap and plenty available. Aftermarket is huge. There is a reason why its the best selling roadster in the world. Its a small car, and its fairly easy on tires/brakes, even then, the parts are cheap. They are widely available, and you can find some for cheap.
EDIT: If you have enough mechanical skills, you can turn the Miata into a big project car. Feel like dropping a 5.0 in it? Have fun, plenty of kits available.
If you're still interested in the miata, I would definatly look into the 94+, as they came with the 1.8L, better interior, some extra suspension stuff, bigger brakes, as well as a stronger LSD/Transmission. Even though the 1.6L is nice car, and a bit lighter, the 1.8L is simply BETTER.
If you have any questions about the Miata, feel free to ask.

Thought that was Japan only?
Some people in my area did a swap.
Gotcha. I know of people importing them and doing the swap (some member on this board did it). I was thinking he was referring to a specific model they sold here in NA.
SR20DET sounds fun

It's true... I've never had to decide if my masculinity could take that sort of a hit
I've driven an 88 turbo supra a fair bit, and it's a lot of fun, but only in a straight line.
The handling isn't too bad objectively, but I certainly wouldn't use the word 'tossable' so for pure driving shenanigans it's not the best choice.
