Taking a car to the Track ?
Hi all,

if you were given the choice of car, to use everyday and also take to the track.

Ie. your daily runner, cabriolet and coupe were same price.

What car would you buy?

Money no object, I'd rather have a cab to cruise around in. But for tracking I would feel safer in a coupe. (+less weight, +torsional rigidity, etc.)

lol

I think the added security and better handling of the Coupe would always win, its the odd person that is not that track orientated, that wants a cruiser, that he can use on the track..

keep the responses coming ... thanks
