I agree and have done what most here are saying. I owned several trans ams and camaro's during high school. Mustang LX's and Gt's were just toasting everything so I got one myself. My choice....I'd find a clean LX and throw a few goodies on it. They are a blast to drive and quick too......and very reliable. My LX had 130K miles and still running strong. I recently sold my 95GT which had 115K and ran strong. Parts are cheap and plentyful for the 5.0 cars.

Id go with the 944. I drove one for years and loved it. The Porsche club has autocross events all over. Like was said above its not a rocket on the drag strip but kicks a$$ in the twisties.
Find a good mechanic and have him go over it before you buy it. There are service intervals that need to be followed, inparticular a timing belt service every 60k I think.
The 944 Turbo is way fast BUT it is not the same to maintain, most parts are double the cost of the 944.

944
Had one for four years beat it like a rented mule and it always came back for more, sold it the same price I bought it for! Besides you want it to say Porsche on the back!

Out of the 3 you metioned I would go Porsche 944. Because chicks dig it....just kidding...not really but it is a great engineered car.
If you really want the baddest though I would go with a McClaren (sp?) F-1 that's the bad boy. Purchase Price?
A cool 1 million dollars give or take
