Discussion
Completely depends on your target time and definition of cheap.

A Scooby / Evo are no where near the best cars
4WD isn't a help considering it's weight, power wastage and the fact with decent tyres / power the front wheels are barely touching the floor
Sub £10k 400-500+bhp
Supra Turbo
Yank V8

MR2 Turbos frequently post the fastest 0-60 foot times as they're so easy to launch with all the weight over the rear. Standard they can cover the 1/4 mile in 13.5 seconds in the right hands.
Best Motoring pitted the MR2 Turbo against a number of rivals over the 1/4 mile

I've owned standard Mr2 turbo's, RX-7's (turbo ll and fd3's) and 300zx twin turbo's, the MR2 was the slowest though.
They're all easy to mod by decatting, increasing boost and a remap to chuck in more fuel.
I modded all of them and ran them at 1 bar of boost, the MR2 was still the slowest though. The RX-7 and 300zx were quite ferocious at 1 bar (some people go higher but that requires much more time and money - 1 bar is simple) and the standing 1/4 mile time was 120 @ 13 secs on the 300zx (short wheel base model) and 13.5 on the RX-7. But the RX-7 was the most fun, handled like a go cart and stopped on a sixpence
