Probably the R32 GTR for all round performance, wet, dry, road and track. It does it all without complaint or fuss.
However, its extremely expensive to maintain and do work on. The most expensive car to keep in parts, tyres, fuel, services etc- they can drive you a bit broke. But when it all works, damn its impressive.

GTO-MR, immensely strong and very rigid chassis, staggering amounts of torque and grips like shit to a blanket. Bucketing down rain, it will still do a flat-13sec 1/4mile.
Not the best track car, but a very superior road car and comfortable long distance tourer as you'd expect from a big GT. Also the rarest of the lot.

FD-RX7, the handling is just beautiful, build quality is top-notch and the way it delivers power is like being strapped to a turbine.
Like the GTR, I bought mine with a blown engine, did it up in my spare time and it was fairly cheap and easy to do really, there was mechanically nothing else wrong with it and a faultless car really... except fuel
They drink like the Irish, learn to like service stations, you'll spend a lot of time there.

S13 K's, great entry level car for learning about forced induction engines, cheap all round to do work on and comparatively simple cars
But despite quite nimble handling, they will actively try to kill you in the wet once you start putting out big power (300+rwhp) and the SR20DET needs some major work to do that reliably.
I had many scares in this car, which made it entertaining/terrifying for a daily driver!

R34GTT, stepping up from the S13 into 'proper cars', the RB25DET NEO is one of the most underrated engines around
They're cheap to work on, do the mods right and you can literally hammer on it all fucking day like an anvil. I just couldn't kill it. Like the S13 I bought it as a daily driver and just started dumping performance parts into it (because it was fun)
Wasn't the fastest, most nimble or lightest, it did everything asked of it and never gave a peep of trouble
