I'd be looking to strip the interior of most things, get bucket seats, some sort of roll cage and handling mods (not necessarily big power mods)

Option 1: M3 E36 - nice high revving engine, manual, rear wheel drive and already a very well sorted package... these can be had for sub 20k so it would leave a few K in the kitty to get some track rubber etc

Option 2: Evo 5/6 - will probably have more power than the M3, especially with a few simple mods and the 4WD would come in handy at times...

Any thoughts or suggestions from the pros?

Cheers,
Stu
Hey Stu
Whats wrong with your 135 use that car, just have a set of wheels and tyres, brake pads etc.
But if you must have a track car just purchase the EVO its is a good all round car
