What car would you suggest for soloI/RR ?

What street(legal) car would you suggest for an occasional road racing/solo I and a little aX'ing ?
ATM I dont care about what class I would be put in at all really, my only consern is the lap times.

"cheap" would be the big key word in this search btw. so plz dont suggest a porscha or z06. I only dream I could afford what insurance would cost let allone the car itself.. :(

I am currently aiming for an early MK1 mr2. 2300~lb mid-engine car.. sounds like SO much fun. It does have a lack of hp but an engine swap in the somewhat but not to distant future couldnt fix. meen time a bunch of hp is probly the last thing a n00b like me needs.. lol

I know this is an extremely broad question.. but I am looking for some broad opinions. What moderately modified cars do you notice that do well in most tracks.
(if all else fails.. feel free to brag about your cars :naughty: )
lol

thanks :smile:

wow i forgot about about this post. Suprised its still on the 1st page after about 4 or so months :o

Any comments/opinions? :smokin:
lol

The MKI NA is a great choice for AutoX, so would be an older Miata...

i have to agree, mk1 mr2, even the mk2 n/a is an awesome autoX car. with the miata you run into track issues: roll bar etc.

lol, actually my first thought was to suggest a Z06!

a C4 vette would do nicely too, if you want to spend a bit more

how do 240sx's do in autoX?
really lightweight(2700lb's?), rather torque'y 4banger, and HICAS..
im kinda looking at one of those things now since they seem allot more practicle having 2 rear seats.
That and with these ungoddly gas prices makes owning a v8 a little less fun :/

they make better drift cars, but the beauty of autoX is that you race everyone, but your time only counts against those in your class.

still say mk1 mr2 s/c

drifting... pfft. :disappoin
(not my cup of tea)
hehe
tbh, i dont really care what class im in, I just want a fun car to drive to and threw a solo1/2 event. :)

I like the mr2's but they just dont seem practicle for someone who will only be able to have one vehicle.
... then again, I could always just have my freind hall stuff around in his camaro.. lol :p

If cost is a concern, get a small lightweight car. Big tires for cars like a corvette can run a pretty penny. You also want a car with aftermarket support. A miata or mr2 is a good choice. Used parts at low prices aren't that hard to come by either.
