I can’t believe no one mentioned the 2004-2008 Acura TSX. Those cars came with the K24 & 6 speed transmission. Remind me if I am wrong didn’t spoon & mugen race with them?
Fits are fun as hell, and you can get a roots supercharger kit for 4k for them. I’ve done some research on it, though I would need a manual for mine first
@@godzilla_area5111 sure. But that platform isn't as stout. Low HP. Heavy. Some engine issues in the 4-banger that the V6 doesn't have. The newest IS's are pretty capable now (transmission let's you hold gears with an LSD option). But those are a long way off from being cheap track options. Lexus needed to make this current IS ten years ago.
you can find a legacy 3.0r or 3.6r for under 10k and have a blast like what i did with my 2010 outback. yeah its not a man pedal car but the parts for them are nuts like 350zs
They area little hard to find but I did test drive a very rough LT4 C4, i passed on the car but he let me know his bottom dollar was $10.5k. Definitely possible in the $15 bracket. Sick vid
You can do a blown motor RX-8 and swap in the GM V-6 (LFX I think?) for less than $10k, plenty of cheap low km ones in the junkyard in wrecks and if you do the work yourself. They have kits now which make it an easy enough swap for the price.
Acura RSX type S it’s literally the most well rounded car for under 10k to be a track car. Has tons of space to haul your stuff to the track and Hondas reliability.
I track a mk6 GTI whose current value is definitely south of $10k at this point. As far as turbocharged engines go mine has nearly 170k on it and it hasn’t exploded yet.
Skip the 128i unless you get the m-sport package.. otherwise they are trash.. oh and you better get a manual. I tracked and autocrossed a 2011 128i.. and the motor is nice.. brakes suck, non-m seats suck.. non-m suspension is too soft..
C4 Vettes had a ZF 6 speed, 97' C5 was the first Vette to get the t56. LT1 F-bodys got the the t56 in '93 good old fucking gm lol. That being said, '98-02 4th gen F-body's with an LS1/T56 can be had sub $10k easy are a ton of car with good aftermarket and oem support. Personally I have a t56/Ls1 swapped 3rd gen Camaro but that's because I'm a dirtball 24 hours of lemons racer and had to do it on a budget.
Also under 5,000 a vw based rail buggy. Is it going to be the best suspension wise? No. But it would be interesting. Even stock vws can go 60-70 all day and maybe 80-90 in a pinch, I wouldn't take it to road Atlanta, but a short track would be really good. VIR comes to mind.
nah RX8 for $3k and use another $7k upgrading the motor. the people that buy them off marketplace and go straight to the track are insufferable losers.
Y’all are sleeping on the second gen forester XT, for 5-6k you get basically a WRX with a bit more space than most likely hasn’t been ruined by some idiot kid and his vape pen
These are generally terrible choices. If you're going to a track you want light, less weight means less cost of consumables. Some of these monsters they're suggesting here would absolutely tear through tyres and brakes. Some of these choices are just dreadful. Get an MX5 (sorry, Miata) or an MR2, or pretty much any Fast honda. These guys have basically spent a whole video looking for the least dynamic, poorest handling, heaviest cars they could find to put round a track. It's almost like they've never actually been to one!
New CCF video!?!?! Penis is HARD!
AAA just saved my butt today when the Copra broke down on the highway. Without them I would be looking at a $400 towing bill.
Worth every penny for peace of mind, life without AAA is chaos
toyota cupra
@@sepehr-9210 genius! I have vanquished my cope and am now looking for a mk2 or mk4 to replace it
@@Redline1986 wow this is exciting,put it on your channel when you bought it
S197 the new Miata. You can find track ready cars for 8-10k all day long
if your willing to save another 2-3k a C5 is the way to go, def worth the jump from a C4
Completely agree, we might have a "under $15K" video coming 👀👀

What about 2gen IS specifically the IS350 2008-2012 you can find them all day for 10k 306hp LSD RWD Toyota reliability what do you want more
Transmission kills it. Only auto. Can't bang off rev limiter. I like that car. But it really needed a manual option.
@@francostrong202 then go to the IS250 that one have a manual transmission

Proud of yall for not listing a gc8 2.5rs or a bugeye wrx. Fuckin shitboxes could never survive a track and plow at autocross.
Catastrophic failure. It's what makes a Subaru a Subaru™
C4 would have been my choice
Speaking of the hertz gt special, they put in steel tamper proof cables to deter people from swapping

I could have had one of THESE for $10k?! Here I am driving a fucking Geo Tracker lol jk. No ragrets
saved my monday thanks boys
Another good contender would be a BMW Z3. They’re like German Miatas but better. Now as for how long it would last… that’s a crap shoot
I got a zzw30 mr2 for 11k recently in great shape under 100k miles im sure you can get a higher mileage one for sub 10k
Bought mine with around 60k miles for $6500, admittedly pre-demic, but yeah, you can absolutely buy one for under $10K still. collectorcarfeed.com/mr2
The Chrysler crossfire srt6 is the fastest car u can still get under 10k

Should have added a running list overlay on the side as the video progresses, for us smooth brained folks who can’t remember ten seconds in the past
Wanna hear you guys talk about the GC/GF platform. Should check the listings too as some people smoke crack
Early 2000s Buick century, that’s a pretty decent track car, loads of parts, handling is ehh but it’ll do, but it’s quick.
Fairly nice one but y’all missed the mercedes clk 230 kompressor which has a supercharged 2.3 but good luck finding a manuel

the zr1 got an ML9 tho lol
Don’t think the us got these but lupo gti 970kg 125 break na and very stiff chassis would be a brilliant sub 10 car

You guys from the Northeast!?!
Is that AMP???
Where is my weekly S chassis video. I need my fix... 😵💫
My dad sold his mr2 at an auction and lost are but we got 3k for it
Lol ms6 always getting crapped on. Ms3 gang!
Yess

The thing is, most forester XTs are trashed because wrx bros destroyed them. I'd love to have one, but they did NOT go under the radar.

Stay away from uro trash it will cost you more than the car to keep it running every week I had one it was a nightmare from he[[ in that car
