You need a non turbo, hopefully automatic for a first car, then you can learn to swap parts and EARN your horsepower. This car can spin tires and spin out (ask me how I know), even stock and beaten to death with over a quarter million miles. Even after having my 89 for 5 years, and having it turbo for the past 3, I'm still not 100% confident in driving her hard because I have no idea when the rear end may come loose, even though I just swapped in a TT-R differential..
You are probably very young and inexperienced. Trust me on this.

Mint... bought it of an 40 yr old lady who was selling it to buy an Yaris. All of it was highway miles. I used to miss that car until i got << running... still miss it sometimes though. lol
