Best Track Cars

Most everybody owns a reliable car that they drive to work, pick up the kids in, take the wife out with, and use for the occasional trip to the grocery store. every man needs to have a fun car to take out on the weekends and burn some rubber in. So this list is the best, easy to find track cars that range from a 40,000 budget, to under 5k.

10. 1990 Porsche 944 Turbo

The 944 Turbo is a great car for several reasons; first of all it’s fast, with a 250hp engine that launches it to 60 in just less than 5.5 seconds, but that’s not the only thing that makes this car great, one of them is this car is that back in the 90’s, it was considered the best handling car ever produced, with Koni front, and rear struts, and control arms, it was unbelievable in the corners, especially with a perfect 5050 weight balance. Now some of the best things about this car is that it is super inexpensive, with a good, clean one around eight grand. Great value for such a fantastic car.

9.  Mazda RX-7

This has to be the best looking car you can buy for fewer than 10k or 20k for that matter, the style was way ahead of its time and competed with cars that costs nearly twice the price. It carries a twin turbo that ranges from 255hp to 300hp depending on the model you buy. but the best thing about these cars is that the turbo in the car are so easy to modify that some on the road today can push anything from 400hp to almost 700hp. the only problem with the car is that they are a hard bunch to find, with an already low number of them sold in the United States, they are not easy to find, but they have the largest reward factor

8.  Z32 Nissan 300ZX

This twin turbo powered 300ZX was a beast, making just about 300hp in 1990, which by today standards is still very impressive. Often called the “the poor man’s Porsche" and for a good reason to, this car launched from 0-60 in less than 5.5 seconds! (That’s the same 0-60 the 2013 Boxster has) with great handling that you can throw into any corner that any speed, and a shape that has aged well, makes this a fantastic car to buy.

7. 1963 Mini Cooper S

In 1963, the Mini Cooper S was released with the "S" standing for a twisting road (not supercharger) the performance went from 34 to 55 bph. The car featured a racing-tuned engine, twin SU carburetors, a closer-ratio gearbox and front disc brakes, uncommon at the time in a small car. One thousand units of this version were commissioned by management, (source: Wikipedia.org/Mini) they also upgraded the engine size to 1071 cc. But during all of the power changes, the car stayed around the same weight which made it deadly on rally races. Due to these changes, The Mini Cooper S won the 1964, 1965, and 1967 Monte Carlo rally. The series was discontinued in 1971 after eight years of production. So super light and super fast? This thing was made for the track.

6. 1998 Golf GTI

The classic golf GTI came in a few engine options, a 4 cylinder 175hp, and a 200hp V6, both are very fun cars to drive, but where these cars lack in power they gain in awesome handing, and unsurpassed driving fun. If youre looking for a car that has the most smiles per miles, this is the car to get. And with cheap maintenance and easy to fix engine what’s not to love?

5. BMW 850csi

The best car you can buy right now, for the money is the BMW 850csi. It’s by far the most powerful one of the bunch supporting a monster, autobahn worthy V12 engine, launching it from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, that’s the same as the 300Z, but this car accelerates when you want it to, passing time for this car is a mere 2 seconds! And this car sounds like a genuine German super car. But at the end of the day, you are driving what once was an $80,000 super car that competed with only the best of the best. With the fire breathing V12, downright sexy exterior, and BMW style interior, this car wins on the track, and on the street.

4. 1998 Toyota Supra Turbo

An all time classic that us tuners never forgot. The base Supra made around 330 horse power, but it’s nearly impossible to find a stock Supra, most on the market produce around 500-700hp, while the downright crazy tuners can get around 1000hp out of these beasts. So, a great amount of horsepower, somewhat good looks, and a crazy fun to drive? Might just be the best car on this list.

3. Nissan Skyline R34

There are two types of people in this world, there are the people who believe that classic muscle is the best, and there are the people that think imports rule the streets, but, then we have the people who just don’t care, and they buy this, a downright fun, and cool car to drive that has been loved by all types of car lovers for over 20 years. With most of them on the streets right now pushing 500hp, and an array of modifications for the track, it should not be hard to find a race ready track car for fewer than 15k.

2. 2013 Subaru BRZ

The 2013 Subaru BRZ is a dream come true for sport car fans, lightweight  rear-wheel drive, small, fast, and good looking. The two-way branch with Scion almost seemed too good to be true, with funky, fresh looks from the youth orientated Scion, and the classic 200 horsepower Boxer engine, which is enough to throw it into a corner and enjoy the view sideways. But is it really as good as it seems? Light, fast, and most important, affordable.

1. 2013 Boss 302

On the performance side of things, the Boss gets a larger manifold which produces 25 more horse power over the 2013 GT model, but power, is not the shining light of the 302, it includes larger ani-roll bars, lower control arms, lowering kit, upgraded struts and springs, and a 3.75 gear set. all of this stands out from the GT model and you can tell, after driving the Boss 302, I knew exactly what the cars limits were, and felt confident going into the coroner, although the same cannot be said about the GT, I felt the back end sliding through the entire corner, not to mention I had no confidence on what the car would do.

I hear people talking about how the Boss 302 is the biggest rip off of all time, and it’s not worth the extra 15 grand to buy it, and I’m here to say that the biggest lie I have ever heard, its the best Mustang by far.
