    $5k track car

    Moving back to the States next month. Want a $5k car for Speedventures events and occasional auto-x. Have come up with this shortlist - what looks good?

    Thought about E30s, but while point of entry is cheap the upkeep prices for a tracker are beyond what the woman will put up with.

    Power isn't important, I just want to have the fun.

    Id personally be between a miata, or an e30 at that price range.

    Edit: I voted Fox body. But you should add miata in there as well.

              Voted mustang due to availability and aftermarket support, but there are some other options like a miata,or even a s-10 or ranger.

                I voted mustang but really, E30 is the only option.

                  Fox mustang for sure, out of your options in the poll. How's the entry cost for those?

                        Matt Farah of The smoking tire has an interesting fox body build going on.
