wow you don't see many of those around- Oil has come a long way since 1993 so my guess would be that most 5w30 oils would be fine. Don't over think it too much its probably more important just to get the old stuff out.
I would do a short run with almost anything you have. Check the oil cap, it probably says 10w30 and API SH or similar. Do a 3000 mile run with Mobil 1 High Milage to clean it up a little and get the old stuff out. As long as the car was not abused you should be able to get at least another 100,000 miles on it.
A neat car.
Kind of the Japanese Camaro, although far more sophisticated in design and execution.
I'd use a good 10w30, your choice.
Were it mine, it would be the perfect host for the Pennzoil Platinum and Quaker State Torque Power 10w30 I have in my stash.
Maybe a couple of short OCIs just to make sure everything is fairly clean?
This car sounds like a nice find!

My brother's 94 3000GT VR4 has similarly rated power density, twin-turbo plant. It specs 10w30. Id run redline 10w30.
The biggest concern would be the turbos. The engine is more or less bullet proof.

Yes, and that "abuse" includes being run on pump gas while running very high, modded, untuned boost as well (as soooo many of the early ones were with the 'fish tank valve' boost controller mod).
