Which car should i get: Mitsubishi, Nissan, or Ford?

To give a little backstory, I'm an avid car enthusiast.
I love older looking cars far more than newer looking ones (with some exceptions).
I'm aware that the older the car, the more problems go with it. That's why I plan sometime maybe this year or next year to attend an automotive college so I can learn the in and outs of car repair, and modifications.

I'm torn between a few different styles and need help deciding which would be the better decision in the long run.

From Mitsubishi, I currently am in love with the Evo IX GSR.

From Nissan, I'm currently in love with both the z32 aka 300zx and the 240sx. I've heard that the z32 is more reliable than the 240 because it breaks less often, is this true?
If so then i'll go with the z32.

From Ford, I'm in love with the Mustang SVT Cobra.

Now that I have a few choices, I have a few questions to go along.

Which one breaks less?
Which one will i need to spend more money on?
Which one will last longer?
Which one is more "tuner" friendly?

I appreciate any, and all answers, questions, comments, etc.

I like Nissan gt-r's a little pricey though so i would buy an older model maybe a 2011/12 ;)
