    If you are serious about a Brit car in B.....there is always the TR7...lol....laugh, or maybe don't... 2.0. Can be made to handle. Decent power torque out of teh stock motor (90ish stock hp, 100ish stock torque), came with Bosh L-Jet the last two years so you have the ability to put a standalone on it and tune. TR7s are cheap/free and parts are plentiful.

    There are a lot better choices but if you love Britstuff, that's probably the only oddball Brit car with a chance in A/B/C.
    if it weren't for the stubborn persistnace Jeff laid into the TR8 making it competative among STRONG competition in the south east ITS class, I'd say the above was fanciful at best. but the chassis appears to be capable enough, the displacement is in the upper poart of the range for the class and if it can put down the required power it's certainly got a chance. L-Jet gives you a lot of easy go to options, and I bet Jeff would be helpful with the knowledge, too. I've heard worse ideas.

    Put a few Lotus badges on a Miata and pretend it's an Elan...

    Great Idea for using up older generation Miatae.
