When, or if, you 're happen to be on the race track or at the strip, what will be your rival or the car you would like to compete with.

My list is: 06 GTI, WRX (not the STI), Civic Si, Integra Type R, IS300 and the classic E30 M3.

 

The IS300 is a large, 4 door luxary sedan. What is the point in competing with a luxary sedan?

 

1. AMC Pacer
2. Yugo
3. Chrysler K Car

I have a MC so any and all help is welcomed.

 

First gen IS300 (IS200 in EU, different motor though) has a very good platform and lots of potential to start with. With the right modification, it is one of the most competitive cars in its class. It should be fun to be on the track with.

 

An 05 Subaru Imprezza. That's the car which the husband and wife team drives that keeps me pushing harder in autocross.

 

An exact replica of my MINI.

That way it'll be based on my talent and ability and not my car.

 

I would love to see: mod Cooper (non s) vs mod Honda Fit on the track some day. It should be fun to watch.

 

The IS300 is a luxo-boat. Comparing a large luxary sedan and a MINI makes as much sense as comparing a MINI against a Ferrari

 

The most fun I've had at DE's was with earlier model Miata's. Seem to be pretty evenly matched with my MC. Had a good back and forth run with a white one at VIR one session, we parked and got out, laughing and shaking hands, back-slapping. Great fun.

 

I run HS SCCA in the Washington DC area. I face an older MX3, a fwd two door fastback from the 90's with a 2 ltr 6 banger that can rev. Its driver is very smooth and runs HS in the W DC region SCCA. There is also someone driving a Subbie much faster that anyone has a right too. Then there is that kid that grabbed the SCCA Pro Solo running MC. I look forward to seeing all of them and the cars again in March.

Hey Ords, you forgot Gremlin.

 

An RX8 will likely be my rival, since that is what is in my autocross class.

 

Watch the BTCC. Trust me, the car's got potential.

 

Miatae that have only been lightly modded are good competition for my Cooper.

My favorite car to play with on the track: MCSes. :D

 

it's not a large luxury sedan - it's a compact luxury sedan. In other markets, it's sold as the Altezza and it comes with a screamer of a 2.0L motor and is quite the enthusiast's ride. Not everything non-MINI is a 'boat'

 

Yeah, I agree. The MX3 and MX5 are fun to compete with. They are very capable cars, especially the "sleeper" MX3 (JDM, V6 engine), they can always give you some surprise on the track.

 

This one is a RC car...
