I was kinda thinking about those, it is just hard to find any info about them for track use as most are used for drifting. I know that the 240sx can be pretty good with wide tires and there are tons of suspension options. I just don't know how good, if that good is in relation to other Japanese cars or all cars in general. I would imagine they are decent and probably have decent relations with the r32 or r33 Skylines which are monsters on the track at the Tsukuba time attack races.

Great track cars that are japanese:
Mazda Miata
Honda S2000
Honda Prelude
Acura Integra
Mazda RX7
Mazda RX8
Honda Civic
Mitsubishi Evo
Subaru Impreza/WRX
Datsun 240z
Nissan 240sx/S13/S14/S15
Not all of those are RWD, but they are all capable of being track monsters.

I hear they weigh like 2200 lbs and make 130 hp, and can be lightened to like 1500 lbs very easily, which gives you a great hp/lb ratio.

Great track cars that are japanese:
Mazda Miata - would be very hard for me to drive this
Honda S2000 - too expensive
Honda Prelude - too ugly
Acura Integra - I like these but I don't really like fwd
Mazda RX7 - I like the FD, too expensive though
Mazda RX8 - too expensive and ugly
Honda Civic - again fwd, already had one and loved it to death, in fact my first car, I wouldn't mind an EG hatch
Mitsubishi Evo - too expensive and I already have awd
Subaru Impreza/WRX-see above
Datsun 240z - hard to find
Nissan 240sx/S13/S14/S15 - I think this is my best bet. Aftermarket support, cheap and easy to find. I like the looks.
Not all of those are RWD, but they are all capable of being track monsters.
Aftermarket support is quickly dwindling for those.

Talk to Chris about the Integra, he just bought one.
My issue with the S13/14 is that too many of them have become drift toys. Find a nice clean one and rock the shit out of it though.
Other cars you should consider, since you haven't mentioned a budget:
early Porsche Boxster
Toyota Supra
<993 Porsche 911

I think the s13 really will be the ticket, they seem to be good on the track and I want to make one that isn't a drift car.
