Yea, caustad on here made some good bank on a non-turbo one if I remember too, in a similar way. That was a pretty fun ride. The turbo model is awesome, though. The tranny is in the back, so weight distro is 50/50 (all models, actually) but the available modlist for those is a mile long, and if I was going to be doing road racing, this would be a huge bang-for-your-buck ride, as seen on nsxfiles.com.
I looked at a cherry '87 turbo model about four years ago, and almost bought it for $7k. I kinda always regretted not buying that car, until I bought my dsm. =)
I do still have some pics of it though, and I still hang my head a little everytime I look at them:
