Default What kind of 350Z could you build for $25K (Including car..)

Here is a fun project,

Say you have about $25,000 ($26K Max) to buy a Used Z and build it up to be the best car in a given catagory, what would you build and why?

Using the current value of a Used Z in your Area,

What would you buy to make a "Track Car".
What would you buy to make a "Drag Car".
What would you buy to make a "Street Dominator".


EDIT: RAISED TO $25K?

a stock one with the gas gauge on E and no insurance or tags, with $25k you could get insurance, tags, and much needed gas and a still stock Z with high miles.

You could buy a Honda Civic, and put a 350Z body kit on it...and with the remaining $18000 you could invest in some stocks..
