What car should I choose for beginning my racing career?

The Miata has some of the best aftermarket and manufacture support there is for a beginner! The problem is picking the level at which you want to race. There is enough room under the hood for a V8 and the stock engine is easy to get around.

My top three choices are:

1. Miata

2. RX7 (problem here is money, they can be expensive to field)

3. MR2 (Cheaper then a RX7 to field, more expensive then a Miata, does not handle as well and parts are a bit harder to find).

Look at the other makers contingency funding and what kind of support you can get at what ever level you decide to compete in. Ford (Mustang) also has a great support network for beginning racers by the way. Not my choice, but because the cars are so plentiful maybe a good choice.

Keep in mind that at some point spares will be needed. Miata and Mustang cars are plentiful and finding one that can use all the parts already at hand is not a problem. The rest of the cars on your list can be difficult to find and on some the interchange between years is more restrictive.

I just want to pipe in that the Mazda Miata has a great power to weight ratio... if I remember correctly, it's almost 50/50.

That's why it has amazing handling. The hood, as you can visibly imagine, is essentially one-third of the car's length. You can pack in a Greddy Turbo kit, inter-cooler, a turbo-back exhaust, and an intake pipe. Since the car weights in at a few hundred pounds over 2,000lbs, the above modifications are all you need to get it flying.

You can also do weight reduction. If you slip in a racing clutch and a K&N filter, get the Electronic controls reprogrammed (flashed), you just made yourself a competitor to a Corvette or heck, even a Viper. But make sure you get professional tires.

the 1st difficulty you will desire to do is to flow to a solid drag racing college like Roy Hills or Frank Hawleys.There you may get your license to tension any style of drag motor vehicle you want.they additionally be attentive to the fantastic information of having sponsorships,leasing engines and different stuff like that.devoid of having real seat time no person won't placed you in there motor vehicle because of fact highway racing and racing on the music is honestly distinctive.in case you may not get to a drag racing college i'd initiate out bracket racing at my community music and artwork my way up.And in case you nonetheless like highway racing maximum tracks have allot of heads up racing venues the place that's in a secure controlled enviroment.you incredibly need to provide up highway racing human beings can die.Allot of tracks have what they call midnight insanity the place the cost is low to get in and race all night.

My grandpa is car racer and he says corvette or chevi. He said definitely not Ford because it's too heavy.

Good luck and I hope this helped.
