What is the best bang for the buck.

want to do few track days a year and some driving schools.
I have always wanted a 911 but have been looking at boxsters.

thanks for any info

 

how fast and street car too or not?? whats budget approx??? ray

 

Yea, how dedicated of a car do you want, and how much experience do you have.

 

I would get a lotus elise. Perfect lightweight (1,900lbs)track car and only $35,000. Also, the Toyota drivetrain is very reliable. You can also tune it with a turbo or supercharger when you need more power later on.

 

Used Spec Miatas are nice as are Honda Challenge cars. You can find either one for a good price with cage, spares and well sorted sometimes with a trailer thrown in!

If you do not plan to race it you can do even better as both chassis are often under weight and you have to add ballast to get to racing weight. You can add a little power, a little more brake and go out and have a car that will cut seriously low times for peanuts.

 

What do you guys think about these:

Looks like you can buy one for around $80,000, which is not bad for a Ferrari race car... does anyone own one?

Agreed....best bang for the buck for sure!

I'm picking up my '05 Elise for under 30K

 

I well set up Evo or STI can be had for less than the Lotus and cut faster laps in most any conditions.

 

My dad just picked up a Panoz GT-WC from wirewheel.com and loves it. I haven't been out in it yet though, but he's got 2 or 3 other people in Houston to place orders with wire wheel. Tube Chassis, V8 for $23,900. Can't beat it for fun value.

 

I Have A Evo9 Ready For Show/track.......5k Miles Asking 35k

 

i bet its all beat up, and you might need a new engine soon!
not worth it i think!

 

Don't get a Cayman S.

 

I do a fair amount of track days (6-10 annually) and have decided on a dedicated track car, a Radical SR3. After doing events with my Lotus Esprit its apparent the track days are pretty rough on a street car.

Feff

 

since you obviously are a fan of Porsche get a 944 tracker--won't break the bank--certainly a nice starter--can be built to the hills--a lot of them out there and a ton of parts
