I'm considering the purchase of a trackday car. Obviously I am aware of the tuning potential of Supras and I much prefer them to Scoobys and Evos. Is anyone running one purely as a track car? How to they fare? Do they handle well on the track or am I better off looking for something a bit lighter? Conversely, if I dump all of the non-essentials like interior, leccy windows, air con, etc can the weight be brought down to a reasonable level?

 

Any thoughts gratefully received.

I will be doing exactly this next season.

 

Without too much effort you can get the weight down to around 1350 kg's acording to my calcs.

 

Lots of non essential parts can be binned so if you are looking for one as a pure track car you can really gut it without too many problems at all.

 

Suspension overhaul would be a good idea if the car you buy has done a fair few miles.

if you want a track only car, get track car, the caterhams, radicals, etc... you are looking at 500 - 700kgs, with extreme handling, etc.

 

You cannot get a supra down to those sorts of weights.

 

Personally, I would go for a radical as an track only car... they look awesome!!
