hey, i'm looking for a car to start racing with, now i've been looking at some gs-r, type-r, or some si's but this is what my friend told me..now i'm wondering if these or some good choices or is there any other good cars out there to tune thanks for the help  

What type of races?  

at a track that is near my house, that a huge amount of ppl hit up usually everyweekend night, but also something i'll be able to be driving around the streets  

where do you live/ what part of the country- do u get snow in the winter cuz if so go with an AWD platform  

yeah i live in northern indiana and i do get sum snow...to be honest i was looking at an 98-99 eclipse gsx  

dude the intg gsr and the type-r arent a good choices unless u wanna roll-race but i would prefer the RWD or the AWD cars but if u live in areas with snow i would get the AWD.for the AWD i would recommedn the WRX STI if u got the cash or if u can find one the eclipse gsx they both have a stock turbo soo there pertty fast out of the fatory and for the RWD i would recommend the twin turbo supra or twin turbo vr4 if u can find one..lol  

ic..well i would only have about 10 grand the most, are there any other rwd platform that would be good and kinda cheap...but i will also look at those thx for the help  

oh and for a rwd platform would a 240zx or 300 be pretty good as well, i'm just looking for help since i'm new to the scene and everything and thanks for the help to anyone  

Creamstow:  the twin turbo VR4 was AWD, not RWD.  

The 240SX (not zx) is a great car with an SR20DET or RB25DET swap.  The twin turbo version of the 300ZX is a great car as well, but very few of them are around anymore and the ones that are aren't in the greatest condition.  However, if you look hard enough and go to certain lengths and project car can be obtained.  

oh ok srry i got wrong  

so than the 240sx or 300sx are only good if i get a swap, and the gsx, vr4 or wrx is also a great choice..is there any other rwd or awd to look for, just so i can widen my looking range...  

An eagle talon tsi, which is basically the same thing as the GSX, but they might be cheaper to buy, around here they are anyways.  

You can get a 2nd gen RX-7 for cheap and they do well on the track and especially a 3rd gen  

alright well thx i'll keep my look out for these cars, but if anyone has any other tips for me or whatever on cars or something, thx again
