Project Car

[Chrisw]

ok I want to pick up a project/track car this summer and am trying to figure out what I should be looking for...........I was thinking either an E30 BMW or an MKII Jetta/GTI........any other rides to suggest..?....civics and stuff are not an option.....

Turbo dodge, i know there ugly but these things really perform, mods can be done for cheap and they are quite reliable. plus there are millions of parts out there, and alot of parts are interchangable between cars

try a turbo OMNI (GLHS) or even a colt.

if you want something that has been done alot more and are proven performers try getting a mustang or a DSM these things can be made into awesome track stars

E30's are cool!! I've always loved the 325.

If you go with MKII VW, probably go for GTi rather than jetta. If you want to turbo or do anything engine wise stay away from late model (91-92) 8v as their Digifant system needs to be scrapped. Unfortunately these are the best looking ones with the big bumpers. If turbos your thing go early 8v with CIS or 16V.

older RX7 maybe. i am sort of looking for something like this but can't really decide.

Give more info on what your preferences are, how much money you have, what kind of racing you'll be doing etc.

ya, if you plan on drag racing, buy a domestic such as a camaro or mustang. if you're track racing, maybe an rx-7(and hope the rotary doesnt break), a 240sx, or anythign with an equally impressive suspension. it doesnt matter how much powe you have, a car with a good driver and sorted handling will beat far more powerful cars 9 times out of 10. case in point, Hotchkis prepped celica spankin porsches on a race track.
