Track car: DC2 vs E36

[dsme94]

Okay, I've had two DC2s and one E36. I have been driving for two years and always had FWD since June this year, until I bought my current daily E36 because my teg ended up in a sorry state after hitting a deer.

I'm looking to get myself a track car and these are two of my current top contenders. (E36 would have to be a 2.8)

For the track, which is best?

E36s can be had for pennies these days, condition and mileage dependant (although this can be said for many cars lol). Parts are easy to come by and aren't overly expensive from my POV. The integra on the other hand can be expensive, particularly for a good 1998 spec JDM (the model I'd want).

The E36 I believe can be tuned a lot easier too, easily achieve 230bhp whereas with an integra it costs quite a bit. For the money, I could have a well equipped E36 track toy for the money I'd pay for an Integra.

Can anyone help me out lol?

Put forward potential contenders as well.

If you've had both, you're probably best placed to decide. Which did you prefer?

And for a contender......mx5 or mr2

Not had track experience, I love the steering and feedback from the dc2 but I feel the E36 could produce the same feedback and steering feel with mods like the quicker rack from a z4 and stripped out coilovers? I feel the argument is best down to someone who knows these cars better than I.

Can anyone else add to this
