I hated it when Chevy did it with Ford trucks and I’ll hate it when Ford does it with Tesla (or whoever they are trying to mock)

Well, that’s gonna be two strikes...

This! That car is a lightweight powerhouse that will blow the doors off just about anything you’re going to find in and around it’s price range. It’s also very rare in the US

Shhh... this is a well kept secret

They use a GM engine so they’re not too bad. The British collectively decided at the turn of the century that they should just give up trying to build their own engines.  

Great suggestion. Truly unique and lightening quick.

Noble M400 is your answer. They come in well under the price range, which is good because... well, British.

If anyone’s curious, there’s an entire plethora of race car parts (Or complete race cars) for sale, all the time: https://www.racingjunk.com

But they did forget about the Frontier though, right?

You know how we know you didn’t read the article?

Nevermind that, I want a 2GR Zzw30, like enough to sell my 3VZ SW20 to fund it type of want

Came here to post “Gen3 MR2". Faith in Jalops restored. Same displacement engine, <200 additional lbs curb weight, probably a ton more livable on a daily basis (dear god those Elise seats). For 1/3 the price? No brainer.

I picked up one of these for a track toy last year and love it! They can be had for insanely cheap! Mine had 171,000 miles and a misfire which I grabbed for $3,000. $100 in coil packs, spark plugs, and an O2 sensor later and she was good to go!

Cheap.  Dirt cheap.

As much as any right-thinking Jalop would wish for a cheap Elise, if it came down to actually spending my own money, I think I’d go for another mid-engine sportscar with a Toyota powerplant in the $7,000 range:

Isle keep that in mind.

There’s a whole slew of reasons for both for and against that operating procedure, but a lot of it boils down to preserving morale.

“Especially if you’ve got $1,600 to bet on a race, but can’t be bothered to pay the nominal entry fee for a drag strip.”

But, but ... a track might require safety equipment!

Well and I have two issues with this. 1-to compete in amateur nights usually all you need is a cage and a helmet....and usually the amateur nights at least where I grew up had some pretty sweet pots. 2-I just don’t understand drag racing, it never entertained me. Where I grew up everyone liked road racing and rallying…
