Daily Driver/Track-Day car

based off your criteria ... subie wrx sti

 

there isnt a car built designed to be driven to a race track, tracked all day..and then driven home...except a porsche 911. 1980's models. SC's.

simply amazing machines. i have friends that load up the r-compounds onto yakima roof racks..drive all over the place..track,..then drive home.

 

here is my driver/track machine.

 

this is my buddies car. he is much higher than 20k$$,, but i'm not

 

My wife has a brand new Outback, it is no STI but still a very nice car to drive. I did however take out an STI while she was test driving her car and that thing handles amazingly.

cant see it

edit nevermind.

holy spoiler!!

 

Alot of autocross guys start with an older impreza model (cheaper to start with) and build it up with newer performance parts for handling and power. Good luck finding a STI for less than $20K that hasn't already been railed on and most likely wrecked. Or cheaper yet if you don't prefer AWD, get an old corvette or camaro or trans am and there's TONS of stuff you can do with those. But you'll be getting 5-15mpg less out of older sports cars than a not so old import... Just thinking of daily driver status.

 

Is that languna seca? sorry if I mispelled it

 

Most 04-05 STIs are under $20k now. WRXs are even cheaper.

 

good eye!! yes it is. that is the famous "corkscrew".

for us rookies, they set up a target cone for us to point our cars at..makes it safer. best track ever. but driving home that night, we got caught in bumper to bumper traffic. took hours to get home. my car never missed a beat.

driving to thunderhill once, we putted there..55-60 mph, fifth gear. i got 31 mpg getting to the track. on the track, i got 11! what a car.

 

I love that track! So sick, I bet it was amazing in real life! I drive that track alot (on my forza 3 )

That car seems sick too 31 mpg!!! What do you have done to it? I dont know what kind of numbers a car like that put down.

 

california is holding me hostage. i have to leave the motor stock. i've lightened the car. no AC, pulled out alot of the interior, etc. i stiffened the suspension and that is all. added a set of R-compounds and my car can hang with big horsed vettes.

i have only about 185 hp.

 

^^^ THIS.


Or this:
Audi B6 S4

 

Why is everyone talking about sexually transmitted infections....? Kinda creeping me out.
