Default Best sleeper ever?

Need some ideas as to what would be the best sleeper? I have a 5.3L iron block that's gonna get a full bolt-ons + H/C treatment and gonna mate it to a T-56, and probably give it a twin snail outfit depending on how much the car comes out to be.
I want to put it into something fun, sneaky and absolutely random.
So far the ones I'm considering are...
1) EC Colorado
2) an HHR
3) a 1972'ish Porche 914
4) Carmenghia (can't find one)
5) 1995 RX-7

That's it so far, want something rear wheel or AWD, that can handle fairly well, that is really lite and that I can get for cheap.

1995 RX-7

They look pretty cool, handle very well, and have the susp. mods available to support putting your kind of power to the ground. I know of several of those cars, with rotary motors putting 900+hp on the pavement.

Mazda Miata. They make the Rx-7s look like pigs.
