Track Car Suggestions

[PPX]

GT4 is more beatable, but if RS drops in a couple of years with less weight higher redline I'd be bored. Seems like GT4 is to clearout parts bin before the 981 refresh, notice the rear lights are same as base and s models.

While I was using some degree of hyberbole, you didn't answer the question.

With a sub-$100k budget, how about something like a used 911 GT3 RS? The Metzger engines in those cars are supposedly bulletproof and as a whole, they're designed to be trackable. And with it being used, you won't feel as bad when it inevitably gets a bit scuffed at track days.

I have a bud who was also debating between a GT3 RS and C7 Z06 for a track car. Very jealous, they both seem like fun! Might want to look into the Z06's engine reliability a bit more though. I've heard of at least one blowing up, so might be something to keep your eye on.

Just wait for the new NSX.

If I had the funds for a dedicated track car...... It would either be an Ariel Atom 3.5R, BAC Mono or Radical. You might as well go all in as opposed to getting comprised street car that can be used on the track occasionally

That, or if your cup of tea involves two wheels... get a Triumph 675R

This. Forget the P-cars.. Get the Atom, the Donkervoort, the 675R or something like that.

I'd get a BAC mono or like a used ferrari. Since you have a lot of cash on hand, care to pay for my college tuition

One of these + a turbo and lots of boost.

Turbocharging that thing would be as useful as putting a turbo on a tesla

Explain.


P.S. there's actually already a turbo version available. My bad.

[totopo]

why are you looking for so expensive a track car?

Or if you must, just rent a track car for track days.

Yep like you said ots already turbo'd plus its a relatively small engine which already has forced induction, you cant really do anything else to it

Z06's have a roll bar problem being fiberglass.
Want to build a kit car? I just sold my Minibusa. A kit I built made by Z-Cars in England. Mid engine, turbocharged Hayabusa GT-5 Mini Cooper. 6 speed sequential with full paddle shift. 242 hp at the wheels with 9 lbs of boost on pump gas. 1140 lbs with me in it. 0 to 60 in 2.6 and close to 2 "G"s of cornering force. And street leagle and very street able.

Get a track car not a street car for track if you want to spend that kind of money.

If it were me, for a track car I'd go with either a D Sports Racer or C Sports Racer and have some fun...

Here's a good site to look for track/race cars:
