Forgive me for saying so, but your 'rule' about Japanese-only seems to be, in itself, rather "biased"...wouldn't you agree? If you don't mind me asking, why would you limit your choices for an inexpensive drag car to Japanese only?

For what it's worth, I don't know anything cheaper to make fast in the 1/8th and in the 1/4 than an older 'fox-body' mustang...

I don't know why you'd say this...especially if you're including the MK4 Supra in the list. The MK4, along with ANY other IRS-equipped car, are far from drag kings. IRS is for roadracing, and makes any car a LOT slower for drag. Sure, turbo supras are pretty much unbeatable from a roll on the highway, and they can be hacked/bastardized (with a TH400 tranny and slicks on 15" rims) to run 8s and be competitive in certain drag racing classes...but supras in general (especially the mk4) are designed for roadracing, NOT drag racing. If you want something cheap to build for drag racing, start with anything solid-axle that's not too heavy...slap a larger-displacement cheap engine in it (eg. 350 chevy or like OmeGa said, a 302 ford) and have lots of fun...1/4 mile at a time.

Just mho, fwiw...
