What car would you use as tracktool?

Updated: 09 Dec 2024

Happy holidays guys. After I got my AutoArt Sierra Cosworth yesterday, this question came up in my mind: If I you build a tracktool which car would I use?

Obviously I can neither afford a stock Sierra Cosworth nor a real DTM-Racer. So let’s say if I had a 30 to 40k budget to build a tracktool which car would I use? Here are my favorites:

Model: Nissan Silvia/200SX S14 Kouki
Engine: Nissan SR20DET
Aspiration: Single Turbo (probably a Garret or Greddy/Trust)
Ideal power output: ~350 - 400 hp

Model: Honda Civic EJ Coupe
Engine: Honda K20A swap
Aspiration: NA with 9500 - 10k redline
Ideal power output: ~300 hp

Model: Honda Civic EF
Engine: Honda H22A
Aspiration: Maybe NA but I wouldn’t mind a Supercharger or Turbo kit
Ideal power output: NA ~300 hp, SC ~350 hp, Turbo ~350 - 400 hp

So these are the cars I would love to have as a tracktool. What are your suggestions?

Supergabri12 (Captur Bros) Sorry no Captur this time :D

Thanks for the tag

Jan Berens Don’t know if 40k would be enough for the Maseriata project

Could work. 10-15k for the engine and 25k left for the rest… suspension and brakes propably around 5-10k, drivetrain another 5k, rims and tires 2-3k unless you want really high priced rims. Would work if you already have the base car :D What’s left is a lot of work and some self manufacturing and designing for engine mounts and all that stuff ^^

BRZ with coils, rims, tires and maybe supercharger kit

Nice choice. Would love to have a BRZ/GT86 with the Jackson Racing Supercharger kit as a daily

Ford Focus RS

Or fiesta st

2.5 or current gen?

Simon(hatchback Mafia RS squad)

Smart Roadster with a Hayabusa engine in the back, different rims and grippier tires, and some suspensions tweaks. And a new exhaust system

Wow. Didn’t expect that choice. Sounds awesome

1st gen CRV
K24 Engine
Lowered a bit so it has a car look
Extreme weight reduction
Possibly polished internals and a single turbo
Performance ECU/exhaust

You like to party, don’t you? :D

Supercharged Mk3 Golf VR6

Supercharged? Are there even Supercharger Kits for the VR6? I personally love the VR engines

RX7 FC3S with 450+ hp, widebody fenders, a dog box , full rollcage and completely stripped down, of course with a track suspension and fat slicks all around.
