What should my next track car be?

You wildin' bro.

A7 are the highest classing penalty DOT tire in TT.

In NASA TT, RT660/A052 would be a +2 point addition.

The A7 is +22 (For reference a Toyo RR is +7 and BFG R1 is +10).

I'll only say they're overrated to people who compare them to real slicks - you'll struggle going back to another tire. They grip with barely any heat in them... I love them.

i'm also looking at some options for another dual-duty car to replace the f80. safety and reliability would be my main concerns, along with cost. given how much i slide around in the f80, i'd like to have seats that work w/ harnesses (half cage and HANS) as well.

my ideal car would be a 718 or 981 GT4, but out of my price range, and having an off-track excursion of any kind would be extra painful

some thoughts:
-ND2 Miata--I didn't pass the broomstick test at the dealer, so would require an aftermarket bar.
-v2 BRZ or FRS--don't know much about it, but with an oil cooler, brakes and harnesses, it might be a good track day fun car
-A90 supra if it ever comes w/ a 6MT? this is about as pricey as i'd like to get while still feeling ok about track use(abuse)
-next gen M2, especially if it works with Schroth quick-fits like the E9X series



i'm not able to tow a car to the track right now, otherwise i'd consider E36/E46 M3s or similar.

Not going to lie, my bro got a 21 GR Supra recently in red and I REALLY like that car.

Besides the look, what do you like any the car?

i haven't driven the supra, but i have instructed a bunch of supra students and while the car is awesome, the wind buffeting noise from the windows being down is downright awful!

i have to wear my hearing protection in an entirely stock car cuz the buffeting noise and pressure give me a headache after a few sessions.

I've heard that as well. There is a solution luckily, just hope it works well:

Is that Really a thing? Crazy. Wouldn’t the engineers know about this and do some type of fix?

The B58 sounds a lot better than the S55 is a major one.

I haven't been on track with the car as a driver or a passenger so I can't say a lot about the stock suspension but there's some nice hints to it possibly being decent for dual duty. I haven't given it thorough testing or driven it but it's a car I would certainly consider giving a shot in that price range.

Yeahhhhh, like it's REALLY bad. No clue if that part would help, but god it's awful.
