    I'll tell you my track experience was amazing driving an 06 MR Evo. Only thing you should know tracking an AWD is dont brake a turn at the same time :eek:

    S2000 was also amazing but 2 seats. Another car that was surprisingly really fun to track was the integra type R. best front wheel drive hands down :cool:

    my vote Evo MR<M3<sti

    Other then the obvious choice, RX-7 FD or mitsubishi evolution. Only problem with the RX-7 is its not a real awesome DD. Every car has its negatives but if you have a supra. You will live in infamy...FACT

    4th gen F bodys (trans am / Camaro) LS1 engine which is a great motor makes good power and puts out respectable mileage for being a v8. If your not a GM fan like the guy mentioned about those 03 cobras are crazy fast with a minimal mods. or wrx's are also very nice and probably a little roomier for rear passengers then the previous two mentioned.

    What do you have done to your STI? I see a wingless trunk... front lip... anything else? Looks sick BTW... hawkeyes are so nice.

    Ours is stock for now...have a Chargespeed lip kit + OEM foglights sitting in the garage waiting to be put on. The CS lip kit is currently painted white (bought it off another guy), now I'm debating whether to get it properly painted or just plastidip it (since it will be coming off every winter anyways, where I can re-plastidip it if needed). Down the road a Cobb Accessport (stage 2 of course!) with a TBE. Nothing major though. Waiting to use up a little bit more of the warranty though....

    Lol, thats what i'm really leaning towards. I have the truck to play in the snow, i would probably get really carried away w/ an sti in the snow and smash it into something.

    Being able to rip around corners in an m3 completely sideways w/ a shit load of smoke pouring out the back:D or hug turns when i want would be amazing.


    As for a supra, that would be rediculous but alittle to much for a dd.
    I'm not huge into 'american muscle' cars, since i will be taking this car to the track instead of the drag strip. So having a shitload of hp would make the learning process unnecessarily difficult.


    Keep the ideas coming guys.

    what year STI? S4? i voted e36* m3 because a friend of mine had one and put little into it and was perfect for the track. idk of a newer STI that is cheaper than 20grand really anyways, arent they still low to mid 20's? plus you can mod the e36 more to youre own liking, more room for mods i guess.. just my .02
