best track hack for 10k

[Cal]

and the fastest track hack under $10K is not NA.

Fixed

[hrd]

no need to fix, that's what I meant! lol

better track cars do faster lap times. I don't know any other way to measure a track car. prettyness?

[HoonBoy]

Enjoyment is my aim, laptimes are never going to be the best out there as I don't have the time, money or abillity to set a car up properly.

If you want the fastest times, go open wheeler and ignore the rules.

If it were all about laptimes everyone would drive open wheelers. They don't, so it's not!

edit: beaten

Exactly......buy a super kart.

I built an MX5 because it was and still is the biggest and friendliest class available where I live. If I lived in Victoria it would have been an E30 or 944. There is a lot more to life that beating yourself over lap times.

if its not about lap times, we'd all drive slow cars with no go-fast mods and do untimed track days.

buy a superkart? why, to go slower? http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/re.../2009.LAKE.R15

A properly sorted super kart would shit on both your chariots from a great height.

[hrd]

actual superkart times in my link above...

not a properly sorted one in a feild of 18???

we do all drive slow cars - compared to F5000 and F1 and so on.

This is why there is classes. so we have something to compete in and continue to develop and improve - within the artificial limitations of class and so on.

yeah, my car is slower than your car, but it's slightly faster than all the other stock engined commodores in my class. That makes it fun for me. It's slightly slower than a bunch of other stuff in my class, which is also fun because it gives me a target to work towards both in my own skill development and car refinement.

also, if you truly wanted to do good times you wouldn't start with a fucking supra

I didn't say it wasn't about laptimes just suggesting that there is more to the equation

LOL most of them are rotax sprint karts. The lap record at Eastern Creek for a 250 International is 1.28

[hrd]

fuck, I'm not the one who called them superkarts. the category they raced in was called superkarts, so I assumed they were.

lol from the bloke who started with a fucking commodore. and I didn't, that's just a stocky road car.

so you choose and modify a car to be a little faster because that's fun, but not too fast because that's not fun? I don't get it.

[too_much_boost]

my bold prediction (hope really) for my s14 is that I'll be able to get into the 8's at wakefield and sub 20's at oran park on the GP circuit.

Total spend will be well less then 15k, probably around 12 - 13k depending on the suspension option selected but the 15k is the upper ceiling for this particular project.

You will still need to have quite decent driving skills to be able to get to that point. They are good cars and can be made to go quick, but still need some ability behind the wheel to make it all work.

Different people want different things. That's why we are all here and not living in an Amish community.

I can buy performance parts from Coles, and if I need a panel I just call the local wrecker a cunt and he throws one at me.

I chose commodore because it's easy, common and I don't have to fucking invent everything. Once again you miss the point, unless you're trying to get everyone to wax lyrical on your l33t driving skillz.
