Recommend me a small sporty fast track car please.

[mark ward]

Ive had many many subarus in my time just sold a porsche gt3rs which was to exspensive for me to track.

Im now after something small for sprint tracks ie noble caterham ect needs to be very fast in 6.3 17 stone upto 25k ish give or take,I have a seat leon k1 at the min but fwd just isnt doing it for me 1,2,3 gears spinning no good a great all round road car though.

Caterham? Lowered floors etc, surely they can fit big 'uns in with enough effort?

They can, either in the standard chassis with lowered floor, bag seat, etc or in the SV chassis.

Im disappointed to read this and find out that I am a big fat bd who needs special cars to accomodate me! That said Im actually 6' 2 3/4" tall and now closer to sixteen stones than seventeen...

[mark ward]

s2000 this going to keep up with 5-600bhp subarus evo's ect ? never owned 1 or been in one tbh.

[RichwiththeS2000]

If you bought an S for 5k and spent the other 20k on a big fat turbo, then yes

Not without a great deal of expense. Caterham, Westfield or maybe even an MK Indy will.

A Radical might fall within your budget, but Im not sure that youll fit. I can sit in the back of 944/968s and easily in a Mk2 MX-5, but Id expect to struggle to get in without a lot of misery and a long course of salad.

I want to buy a car out the factory very fast not messed with so it needs building every 6 laps sick to death of this with jap cars tbh.

I raced one without the lowered floor and fitted fine with a tall cage (6'2", 16 stone ish) and there are bigger guys than me racing them. I had an SV previously and preferred the smaller chassis on track as it felt more snug (Admittedly the leather touring seats in the SV didn't help though.)

Get an R400

I had an 'Audi Elise' track day car. S1 Elise with 1.8 Audi turbo engine conversion. It was running 260hp and would outrun just about anything up to about 120 where it ran out of puff. I could beat 400hp Japanese cars at Castle Coombe on the straights. It would also match GT3's up to around 100mph where they would leave me.

You can also consider a Honda VTEC supercharged engine converstion.

I think this would be a lot cheaper and more suited to track work than a S2000 which is also a fantastic car but expensive to heavily modify.

6'1 16 stone, S3 Caterham with lowered floors. Plenty of room!

[mark ward]

Drive both. Atom probably even more of an event than the Caterham but even less practical.

In all honesty whatever you choose will be monumental and way more capable than you (or I)
