Need opinions on next Project car

Get an old M3 or an older Audi....the older body style of either (late 80's/early 90s). Lots of mods available, the M3 is a great road course car, and the Audi has quattro and is also great for tighter road courses. I used to watch Audis, M3's, and Turbo Volvo 960 wagons (fast as HELL, they usually beat the Audis and BMWs) in road course racing all the time in Europe.

I am assuming you want to set up a car for road racing and auto-x as well as boring old dragging.....these suggestions are indicative of that. If you're just looking for 1/4 mile, then go with the smaller, lighter 240 or Sentra.....

Isn't this off-topic? How is this 5th Gen related?

The Sentra is a great platform to mod on. They are cheap, light, and parts are readily available. That was the toy car I was going to buy. They are both easy to work on, the 240 has a bit more aftermarket support than the Sentra.

Either one is a great car.
