Thought this would be an intesting thread following some of the Nova bashing.

If you had 20k to spend on a track car, what would you go for?

Here's mine:

Westfield 2.0L

Its visit to the rolling road at Track'n'Road showed the engine producing 292bhp/197 lbft with a very smooth increase in both horsepower and torque.

The car was featured in Practical Performance Car, May 2008 issue.

The car is very well known and needs little description .

The car has a very light weight chassis, virtually purpose made. It has a very light weight body with carbon interior bonded panels carbon front wings carbon rear arches and a carbon nose.
It has three way Ohlins shocks all round
It has a light weight ally quick rack..
The engine was re freshed at the start of the season .
The car will be sold with two diffs.
The car has a 4 speed Quaif dog box

The car is certainly one of the fastest out there at the moment ,l went through the finish line at Aintree at 144mph and picked up FTD on the day, and the Brighton speed trials was one of the best moments in my racing only being beaten by a twin engined Busa by a couple of tenths.

The car is in perfect running order and has proved incredibly reliable in the time I have owned it

The car has two sets of image wheels (slicks and wets) and will be sold with a good collection of parts.

The car has been professionally set up by Ohlins and fully designed and maintained by SBD.

I will also be selling the Brian James Clubman trailer which is fully covered and comes with racks for the tyres and a very large toolbox.

Will sell the car and trailer together for £19600 (will only sell the trailer if the new owner does not require it)

This upgrade of the 2.0L range includes an ultra lightweight steel crank, a dry sump system, slipper pistons and steel rods. This kit includes a Vauxhall XE cylinder head with CNC portwork with 35mm and 31mm valves and used +2mm diameter and 7mm stern valves. The inlet manifold also has CNC portwork.

Lydden 14.04.07 – 1st in Class 72.68 seconds
Pembrey 02.06.07 – 2nd in Class 110.99 seconds
Pembrey 03.06.07 – 2nd in Class 48.81 seconds

Most of what's already been posted looks good to me, hayabusa powered stuff etc.

I might be tempted by something along these lines

But would probably prefer something a bit more lightweight.

So after seeing whats available in this thread, who can honestly say they'd still take a Nova? ;)

And Iain, after all that nova bashing, that is the best car you can come up with?? A time bomb, slow NSX?? :)

What happens when you put it in the kitty litter and need a new wing etc? I think that might make a nice road car, but the for track I'd say it was too nice / too expensive.

Why not? There are some utterly glorious FWD cars out there at this price point.

Why not? Because for one, it seems a little unadventurous given this will be a track day car only. And secondly, you could go and buy a 600bhp per tonne monster that would run rings round them all for the same money and at the same time you could have more fun with oversteer on demand etc.
