Default Track Toy Ideas

Been looking into getting a track toy for a little while now and have finally got the time and money to put into it.
Have been offered a Tigra and after watching a few there could be potential there with a decent lump a few tweaks but im not sure it looks that manly if you get what i mean, no offence to anyone whos got one like.

Need some ideas????

If you had the time and money what track toy would you go for and why? Or if you already have one what made you choose it?

205 with a charged GTi6 lump!
clio 172/182

Tigra would be fun with a 300bhp let in it!

I dont really have a budget could buy a ready made track car but i really want the challenge of building my own and then knowing i done it myself.

Quite like the idea of a 205 gti tho

Was thinking that, and looking at it could be pretty easy to take the back off and make it look like a mini pick up lol

zetec turbo a fezza?
106 / vts are great track cars. i used to have one and it was surprising wat it could keep up with. the clio 172s are cheap fun cars as well.

Caterham/westy or similar kit car

Far far better as a track car than a converted road car unless you have a big budget
