In my opinion, the NG900/9-3 platform handles (and more importantly feels) like garbage, especially in stock form. Depending on your level of commitment on this, I'd start out with a 2 or 3 door C900 put on some Bilsteins or Koni shocks, SPG springs and learn drive the bejesus out of it. Turbo or not doesn't really matter much. I'd actually probably prefer an S for autox (maybe a 2.1?). The turbo will bump you into G-stock which is definitely a "faster" group.
Or for even more fun find a 99EMS or similar. Manual everything, relatively lightweight and from a chassis standpoint can share virtually all c900 parts.
Convertibles are the enemy of performance unless you plan on putting a roll bar in it and strip off that extra weight.
