AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm sorry, that wasn't a joke was it? Unfortunately us crooked H fans have been neglected for years. There really is no support, I just liked the little dual cam 1.6'ers.

Ye, though the MX6 be blessed with lighter weight, superior handling, and a visage so heart wrenching it may have been conceived via a pact with The Devil himself.
Also:
Mx6 GT verse 1:4 - And the Father himself did proclaim "There were born twins and the slightly more retarded one shall be the bane of many rectal-related jokes."
Thusly, God placed upon this earth Little Cars from the Country of Britain and said, "thou shall enjoy these until the Prince of Darkness doth berkeley it up." Also he did say that thou shalt not worship any false idols from Japan. 
And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou look for an old B13 Nissan Sentra. Then, shalt thou check to make sure it not be an SE-R, for your budget is only one thousand. No more. No less. B13 shalt be the number thou shalt look for, and the number of the chassis code shall be B13. B14 shalt thou not count, for torsion beam is not acceptable. Neither count thou B12, excepting that you find one with low rust. B15 is right out, for both price and weight. Once at the number B13, being the third chassis code to be reached in the Sentra, then, lobbest thou thy ten one-hundred-dollar-bills from Ben towards thy seller, who, being broke in my sight, shall accept it.

Damn, those things make really neat little track cars. They are the Honda Civics of Korea when it comes to aftermarket parts.

This post did cause much joy ... my laughter rolls across the land. LOL
This is pretty much the best forum ever!
But serious talk: It'd be more accurate to say the Probe is really an MX6 rather than vice versa. It's Mazda e'er'thang. You can't even really get parts for the Probe at the Ford dealer, but you can get parts for it at the Mazda dealer.
Probes are easier to find, though for some reason i feel like they're starting to command more money than MX6s. Probably because nobody knows what the MX6s are. I've seen approximately 5 1st gen MX6s in real life that i can recall, ever.
They're worth it, though. Mine was purchased for $900, and has been my obnoxious DD for the last 2.5 years. I've put 20k miles on it, largely trouble free. The only time it's stranded me was with a bad clutch slave cylinder. (The original from 1990 gave out after 180k miles.)
Mndsm over there paid $400 for his and i don't think there's really anything wrong with it.
I wouldn't bother with the non-turbos, personally. You might also be able to get into a 2nd gen MX6/Probe V6 for $1000 as well. You'll see them for $500 or less with a bad transmission (go pull another one out of the junkyard for $75) or "doesn't run, don't know why." (It's the distributor, fix it with a $10 GM HEI module.)
The prince of darkness was heard to say from the depths of hell, "Thou shalt be cursed by Abingdon on Thames! Payest not the least attention to those who speak of Miatae, for they have sent me to Satans deepest pits, never to hold sway upon the weakminded of the earth again!"

Are they fast stock?
If I were shopping for myself, I'd be all over the fast stuff but my friend is an absolute noob and I've had bad experiences in the past with noobs getting in trouble, having a panic reaction and steering into ditches.
Forsooth, thou shalt troll the list of craigs in atlanta for thine wheels.
People aren't wearing enough hats?

I know and am jealous. We were still equating all hyundai's with the Excel at that point so people ignored them or bought them, trashed them and moved on.

Nah, either generation should be in the 15s in the quarter mile in stock form.
The 1st gens will hustle down into the 13s with a chip, boost controller, intake, and exhaust, though.
How did a thread about needing a car for a "Mission from God" get two pages without someone posting this?
But seriously, if you don't want to hoon a surplus cop car, the Probe / MX-6 sounds like a good path if you can find one. I ran a '89 in the $2004 Challenge and found it was very well balanced right out of the box.
Others I'd consider would be a BMW E30 if people in your town don't think they have God's own chariot (but that would be appropriate if they did, given the mission...) or a first gen Neon (which I can pretty much guaranty you they won't be pricing it like it's God's own chariot...).
