Mate. You are talking about racing cars. The lad that started this post is trying to buy a rotten XR2 to turn into a track car. The point I am trying to make is not that XR2s are shite, and a Z-S is amazing. What I trying to point out is that when your buying a track toy, and costs are an issue, don't spend over the odds on a rusty old Mk2 fiesta that really doesn't handle that well! Ledas and a few grand of race prep will obviously change that, but he's not going to do that is he?

He wants something that he can enjoy on track, and obv don't want to spend over the odds. I was merely suggesting that his money would be better spent on a different car, as then less money will be required to make it enjoyable. I do speak from experience. I threw money at my XR2s and got pumped round the twisties by standard Audis while I scrabbled around trying to make the front wheels grip!

And I don't consider this to be an argument, more of a lively debate amongst like-minded individuals.
