Bought a 2008 Honda Fit Sport 5MT last year. Currently have it set up for AutoX. They are a blast to drive. They are basically an updated version of the EG/EK civics, but with 5 doors. The Stock 1.5L motor isn't terrible. Incredibly realiable and great MPG. Like most Honda's you can free up a little HP with an intake, exhaust and a tune. The GD3 uses a lot of brake parts from the 90's civics. It's rather easy to buy and swap a K24 into a Fit. Bunch of options for Coilovers. Progress Group makes a killer rear sway bar. Wheel and tire combos are endless. Chassis stiffening options are endless. Just like the 90's civics there's tons of cheap parts to throw at the car to make it better.

Stoked to see the E36/E46 chassis on the list. The only little budget vs. performance fact I'd add is that the M54 (E46 330i/330Ci engine) makes essentially as much power as the E36 M3, making the E46 330 just as good, or even an M54 swapped E36. Great power without the additional maintenance/worries of the S engine. I daily drive a 5-speed 330Ci and I feel they're so underestimated overall.

Yeah, but that is because he got sponsored by K-tuned. First of all K-tuned is really high quality and because of that really expensive. Secondly, that car is basically a complete, finished build. No one really gets a car and does all those mods and stuff to it to get it track ready. The truth is, you can go and buy a civic in decent shape for 1000$ put better suspension and breaks on it and you can take it out on the track and it will be a lot of fun. Of course if you want to, you can go all-out and do all these crazy mods, but its not necessary.

S2000 owner here who started tracking regularly just over a year ago. We go every 1-2 weeks so thankfully seat time has not been a problem. Started in a Porsche Cayman S, moved to a C7 Grandsport, then a ZL1 1LE, and now the S2K. The 6 months so far with the S2K have done more to develop me as a driver than any of the other cars by far. It’s easy to go fast in a fast car. It’s another thing to have to drive a slower car fast. Anyways, could not recommend an S2000 highly enough to anyone looking for a first track car.

If you are in the U.S.A. I would put up the SN95 and Foxbody on this list. You can get a good example for track use easily around $5k or less and just clean examples in general for less than $10k. Parts are beyond cheap and availability is everywhere. You get cheap power and you can put ALOT of tire under the car if you want. The Foxbody in particular is a very compact package that can grip like crazy with the proper setup. As they are over 25 years old I can mod them without having to worry about anything other than a safety inspection (seatbelts, lights, signals, wipers, horn, structural integrity). This is also personal preference as sound is subjective but I wouldn't give up my flowmaster 40s and H-pipe setup for anything. I would like to compare it to the C8 corvette I ordered if that ever arrives (thanks C7 production, UAW strike and the present pandemic...)

Honda S2000 is a great car but it's incredibly hard to get, and it's getting more expensive every year. Update: Checked local listings today and we are now consistently above 20k in my area. I found one that is cosmetically rough with 87k and an absolutely fucked top for 13k but it claimed it was garaged for it's entire life... So already off to a bad start with that one.

@Love2Cruise 4 жыл бұрын

Well if you are going to track it.... one thing they didn’t mention in this video is how track driving ruins your paint. Rocks, sand, rubber all get thrown onto your bumper, hood and windshield. So if you’re looking for a track car, I suggest putting more emphasis on car’s mechanical condition rather than cosmetic. I track my S2000. The soft top has rips inside. Front left fender has a small bend when tire was caught on the lip when I went off the track a few years back. The hood has many paint chips from rocks on track. Windshield is chipped too, again from a rock on track. Cosmetically, it’s at best a 5 out of 10. Mechanically? I’d take it to a track day this weekend in a heartbeat.

Miata is NOT always the answer. What if I don't want to drive a 20 year old convertible with 130,000 miles? The 86/BRZ is a hugely underrated platform for entry-level track cars. Probably the closest in feel next to the miata and unlike the miata, I can actually fit 4 wheels and tires in the back for track days. On that same token, 350z's and GTI's are great options for people who do want something affordable, but also newer.

@TheOGtyler 4 жыл бұрын

I'm in love with the BRZ / 86 Platform it was always meant to be a "drivers car" just like the Miata but that price tag is still too much for me. I also think if you skip out on owning an older car first then you miss out on learning from alot of the mechanical issues you'd have to deal with that you just won't have to deal with as much in a newer car :) (which would help you with future race cars)

My first track car was a Pontiac Fiero. The engine was anemic, and the brakes were inadequate. Learning to drive a mid-engine car had a learning curve, as well. But I had a lot of fun. When parts started becoming scarce, I replaced it with an E46 330i. So far, I'm really liking it.

Track performance was an important factor when I got my e46 m3 for my channel! Hoping to do some auto cross and a track day or two this summer

I've had or currently have all of these on the list, and have put them on track. This is pretty much my list of recommendations too, but not including the E46 as a top recommendation though (my top priorities being purchase price and cost to run). E46 is heavier, more effort to maintain than the E36, so I recommend the E36 (non-M even better for a beginner, cheaper). Some folks that have less experience are better off starting with a FWD instead of a RWD. FWD Hondas are great for that. The S2000 is too much a handful at the limit for beginners to RWD layouts, but will definitely sharpen you as an intermediate to advanced driver. Think you can handle RWD but haven't tracked a RWD before and want to? a non-M E36 or Miata are very forgiving for RWD. I just happen to have a FWD Civic right now but I think I want to move back into a Miata. Simplicity, reliability, and low running cost make for the best track cars!!

I think the S2k is an outlier if we're honest here. At least here in the US, good luck finding one at a decent price that isn't molested to all hell or trashed from previous owners.

MR2s appear to be pretty good for track driving too. Haven't tracked my SW20 yet, but they look to be good fun to send it around the track, regardless what people say about snap oversteer.

S2K guy just nailed it the best car is the one you can afford to track and not being overwhelmed by cost . Great video 👍 I was amazed by differenc in cost of tracking M3 E92 compare to NC Miata x3 and hard to bealive I had more fun in Miata just because you can brake so much latter and trow it around with 1000lbs less. Still love M3 sound more than anything tho .

For me, its the 86 platform. Affordable and more accessible than the cars mentioned. Not to mention you can get one new if you wanted to. You don't really see any miatas or s2000s for sale in the province I live.

I feel like the Porsche boxster is kind of underrated. Mine costed 9k, and I've seen plenty of better deals out there, including boxster S's (with 250 hp) for $10-11k.. You get a car that can compete with a new Miata or s2000 on the track at a fraction of the cost. A used z4 is another cheap ND Miata substitute. Despite being mid engine, everything is plenty accessible. Front is accessed from a door between the passenger seats, side can be accessed through the rear wheel wells, and top is accessed by putting the convertible top halfway up.

I really wanna say the fox-sn95-new edge mustangs are also good. They are on the heavy side but infinite capabilities and mods, inexpensive and lots of fun. But more required on necessary safety items like frame connectors and strut braces as it does tend to flex
