I would think that starting with a small car from the 70's that came with a v8 (Pinto, Monza, Gremlin) would keep the buying price low and start with a good base.
Any good engine builder could make any of the americam small blocks make enough power to propel those little cars down the track into consistent 12's be streetable and trouble free Add a 150 shot and Bam your there. I would also use a well built auto with a quality converter in the long run,it would probably more consistent and cheaper than a stick.
Just my
.02 cents. There are a lot more formulas than this but I think this would be one of the cheaper ones.

90 thro 94 dsm with a stock engine/tranny/20G turbo with external wastegate/intercooler/injectors/intake/exhaust/Rx7 fuel pump/EGT & Boost gauge/AFC. That should do it. NO NAWZ!!!!!!!! ( I don't like Nawz)

I second what Fordman said.
The only thing I do not believe in is gutting out a car to make it faster, taking out the AC, power steering, etc... because then its not a car anymore its a go-kart. There are many AWD DSM's putting down nice numbers with minimal mods on the track also... it all depends on what you like really, domestic, import, fwd, awd, rwd, etc...
Anyone can make a cheap fast car by gutting it to hell and throwing nitrous on it. I'll stick to nice times with my music, AC, power steering, and full interior
