The last ever discussion about what cars to choose and why
If anyone wants to praise a certain brand name or particular car rant and rave here theres 4 classes and i want you to tell what car is trhe best and why, doesnt have to be competitive just the best in your eyes
1.
ITA
2.
ITB
3.
ITC
4.
ITE
1.) ITA 1.8 Miata
2.) ITB Accord
3.) ITC Civic Standard
4.) we dont have ITE in the SE so heres my ITR pick...yep E36 325IS unrestricted at 2850...although it would be a blast to blow a few bucks at an 83 911SC...
oh yeah i forgot ITS also sry guys
1. ITA - Mazda Cosmo Because it's there and no one races it.
2. ITB - MGB GT Because it's there and no one races it.
3. ITC - Yugo GV Because it's there and no one races it.
4. ITE - (MARRS rules) there was a ugly duckling prototype looking car that was mopar 2.2 powered. Won a few "longest days" at NL and of course "no one races it."
:P

Sorted by best class then best car (I love a lot more cars on the list but tried to keep it limited to the top 5 cars per class... -no way could i restrict myself to 1 unless we are taling ITB :happy204:
1. ITB
- Audi Coupe/Coupe GT... Need I say more!!! The most fun thing I have had since I was 20 or so other than a few of the girls :wacko:
- The Alfa Spider, Rick Pococks was the best looking IT Ever raced
- The Opel GT is a crazy little thing, wold love to get a chance to race one!!!
- The VW Golf A1/A2/A3 & Rabbit... Great affordable first car for anyone!!!
- The Volvo 142 is so big I think I could put a matress in it and use it as a motel as well!!!
2. ITA
- The Ford Caprihas a HUge place in my history, that was my childhood and will always be my favorite!!! I should work on getting it classed in ITB so that it actually had a chance at a top 10 and so it wouldn't get lapped 3 or 4 times a race :dead_horse:
- The Toyota MR2 while to slow for ITA and to fast for ITB is the first car I ever raced on the track and it will always have a place in my heart.
- The Nissan NX2000 has a bitter taste in my childhood, however after seeing Greg's I really like them and think they have LOTS of potential.
- The Dodge Neon is a big thought in my head... why are people not racing them? I think they could kick but and they are relatively cheep I think!!!
- The Acura Integra has always been a favorite of mine, ever since Anthony needed some competition!!! I still think it is the car for the class.
3. ITS
- The Porche 944 (s) is all time favorite... Still want to build one today
- However the BMW 325 is still right up high on my ranks!!!
- The Triumph TR8 has always looked like fun
- The Merecedes Benzb 190 looks like a blast to drive, and looks really cool on the track also!!!
- The Datson Z is a way cool car!!!
4. ITC
- The VW Bug... Would love to see someone build that!!!
- The Datson 510 what a cool car!!!
- The Renault Aliance just seems like it would be an interesting challenge
- The VW Rabbit is just plain old reliable fun
- The Honda CRX is the way to win... Go Get EM!!!
5. ITE
- The Audi Sport Short Wheelbase Coupe Quattro Turbo Rallycar would make a dam cool car!!!
i completly agree with both of you guys (especially the odd ball cars) also when i can find one i will try my best to get a 1968 to 1977 beetle out on the track i will now list my faverouts for ITA ITB and ITC
ITA
dodge shelby charger...a cool lookin car with shelbys name on it of course
saab 900 16v...an oddball car which on paper doesnt look to bad
toyota fx-16, im not usually into toyotas, but this one is pretty cool
ITB
Plymouth Fire Arrow 2.6 liter...a cool little car with soma flare to it
pontiac fierro...why the heck does no one race these i mean the 1988 iss onew of the best looking cars of its erra after the finally got it right
renault alliance GTA...again a nother cool little car that is oddball
saab900...again
saab 99ems 2.0 liter...not to shabby
ITC
ford cortina GT-awesome car
RWD mazda GLC...cool daily driver to be and racer on the weekends
Mercury LNZ-nice car inside and out
MG midget...lightest car in all of IT if i can find an unabused one for cheap :(
VW BEETLE...need i say more
toyota corolla SR5...only twice in the toyota class because this one is so danm cool
yugo...someone should really build one of these if they can find one
also shoutout to my dads 1980 monza spider...first real racecar ive ever seen. clean inside and out and my dad is now hot rodding out another one but with a 350 with aluminum heads New jersey car shows watch out!!!!!!!
also i think also there should be a class for all cars imported overseas...because seeing an abarth a112 would make my year
and i really dont like the kids my age who play the video games and say wow i wana race because ever since i saw my first car i knew i wanted to be involved
see ya later
And yes, there ISgoing to be a short-wheel base Audi in ITE one of these days....just need gas for a welder and a LEVEL platform to get started and a few other tools and we can go to town.
That FX16 is now an ITB car I think...all the more reason to build one!! hmm forgot about that one!
1. Because there were like three sold - and it has no brakes (think RX4 with 200# added).Quote:
1. ITA - Mazda Cosmo Because it's there and no one races it.

4. That would be a Consulier.
D'oh... I never looked at the model year. I was thinking of the 110S, not the later ones. :wacko:Quote:
