Present them to me! I hope to see some awesome contraptions, particularly from the Miata crowd.

I have a few...

This one is powered by a Tomei EJ shortblock, at 500some hp.

This one by some stupid rapper.

Do drift car count as race cars? I guess they do.

That's all I can really think of right now.

AW YEAH BUDDY

If I was at home, I'd have a big long post. That's the best I can do at work.

the raciest version of a 100 Audi I could find

I wish my diesel 504 automatic wagon would even spin the wheels

Unfortunately I can't find one :(

There is this famous photo of the racing Camry, but of course I have an ES300. I was also able to find the later ES300 in an autocross event.

I'm not really into Hot Wheels, but someone should get me this one:

Yeah, so do I. It is an internal struggle I deal with every time I look at these pictures. I really want to do something to my daily but then I don't.

That is a very big yes. Rally cars count as two.

The Camry version of it did become a touring car, so I guess it kind of does count.

Since there were never any race versions of the GMT360 Envoy, I'll substitute this, which at least had the Atlas I6.

Then there's the MkV Jetta

I need a GTV6 when I am older. I was contemplating getting one cause you can have one for cheap, but it would have probably costed more in the end.

Same generation, and that's all that matters. Didn't these come with flat 6s? The same one in the SVX.

Get wider wheels! That can help the handling and the looks of your car. Just try to get understated ones to match with the cars appearance.

Dusty Ventures > YSI-what can brown do for you 04/17/2014 at 17:21

Different generation, actually. I have a 2002, the next body style. There's an optional H6 but I have the H4

I absolutely love the Alpina "pig cheek" flares. They're so cool looking.

How about E30 M3 style flares? Ahaha. Im not a huge fan of these, but to each his own. The rest of the car is stunning.

These don't quite work with the car, the crease just doesn't work here. On the E30 though it is perfect! These need to make a comeback.

If its still moving why not? They look elegant and its got a straight 6 that is probably related to the E-type.

I completely agree with everything you just said. Dem wheels though. And dat paint color. All it needs are some Alpina flares and it would be 100% lust worthy.

I'm biased because I love my E36, but I think they make great looking racecars.

I'm surprised! I thought when ever something about a Leaf was posted it was always got hate. I knew joining Oppo and having a Leaf would be risky. It's actually my parents that have the Leaf (I'm still too young to drive), but I got them looking at one. It was between some Beige CUVs and the Leaf. I think having something unusual is better than something Beige around here.

As a city car the Leaf is perfect for most people. Also, I am pretty sure most people won't give you a hard time for owning a leaf. If they do, they aren't worth your time anyway.

Although that's true, I have more particular tastes than most. I don't actually think that many popular track cars make nice racecars. I won't list models, because I wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. And no, it's not to spare your feelings. I think the toyobarus make brilliant looking racecars.

People forget that Alfa used to be one of the winningest teams in motorsport :)

Yes. I think most people don't understand that it is a city car. It won't work for everyone. It's not a full replacement for a gas car in most cases. We still have a gas car, it rarely gets driven, but it's there when you need it.
