Currently, a lot of young people are interested in street racing. As you know, for this lesson you need suitable cars, that is, sports cars. But I do not want to spend a lot of money on a car. Therefore, this article proposes the top most inexpensive sports cars.
Let's start in order
There are several areas: drag racing, drift and stens. Although stens is not quite suitable for street racing, but some cars in this direction are quite fast.
First of all, you need to explain to the reader what these intricate concepts mean in order for at least some understanding of these directions to come.
Bit of theory
So, drag racing is the direction of street racing, in which "tuned" cars measure their power by driving along a straight street or a special platform. Accordingly, whoever crosses the finish line first is the winner.
Drift is a type of street racing where not only the car is important, but also the skills of the pilot. But again, the car’s power and torque are important, the engine must slide the car’s wheels so that the car itself can move “sideways”, that is, in a skid. There are different units in this area. For example, pair drift and single races.
And finally, stens. It is the passion of motorists to “build” their car so that it brings aesthetic pleasure. Most often, stens-class cars attract a lot of attention, they are very low, so low that only a piece of paper can climb between the wheel and the arch. Very often, such cars are painted in bright pearl colors or covered with various films.
Of course, for all these areas any kind of sports car is needed. Although this is an optional condition, for each class there is a certain top car that is most suitable for these hobbies.
Top Drag Racing Cars
Nowadays, more and more young people want to show themselves at any automobile competitions, but they do not have as much finance as we would like. Therefore, for the simplest direction, in which you only need to have a car and come to the meeting place, there is a rather conditional (because it can vary) but still the top of inexpensive sports cars.
Toyota Supra. The most expensive of cheap sports cars. A car with an incredibly sporty and daring design. This is a two-door coupe with a huge engine compartment that allows you to “swap” huge V12 engines there. But in the “stock” this car is very good, in conjunction with a manual transmission, it gives good performance.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. A cult Japanese car with a very recognizable design with an aggressive front end. The most popular are the ninth and tenth generations. In very charged versions, it can give an acceleration rate of up to 100 km / h in 5.4 seconds. It is also worth mentioning that this car was designed for rally racing, therefore it has all-wheel drive, which undoubtedly plays an important role at the start.
Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Almost the same as the Mitsubishi. It was also developed primarily for rally racing and accordingly has four-wheel drive. Another proof of this is the fully independent suspension with McPherson struts in the front and rear. This monster is armed with 2.0-2.5 liter turbocharged engines. By themselves, they are not very powerful, but after some improvements produce fantastic results.
BMW E30. The car itself is not very outstanding. It does not have such high indicators as the previous representatives, but more often than not, they are not left in the “stock”, because the motors are “swapped” on Japanese “jazytes,” which are also quite good after some improvements.
Best for Drift
The best cars for these races are generally accepted as follows.
Nissan Silvia S13, S14, S15. A very affordable vehicle, if you do not take Silvia S15, since these copies can reach a cost of 700 thousand rubles. This is the machine that allows you to "drift" "for a penny", as making it fast is not difficult. All we need is a boost controller, which will allow us to inflate the turbine not by 0.7 bar, but by 1.0. And this will make it possible to get about 270 liters from this engine. from. Thus, the car turns out to be very balanced, superbly controlled and controlled. In short, the perfect car designed for drifting.
Nissan Skyline. The car has a very aggressive appearance with a raised brutal hood on the front. He looks like an angry dog ​​that wants to jerk. The back has already recognizable round taillights, which migrated to new versions of this car. The RB26DETT engine was installed on this model from the factory, which already allows the "stock" car to ride in a drift.
Toyota Chaser. This unit is most often equipped with a 1JZ-GTE engine with one large turbine. This engine has a huge resource for modernization. The most interesting thing is that the Chaser is a regular sedan that is suitable for drift racing. It is enough to hang the body kit and put beautiful wheels, as the car immediately becomes a subject of general attention.
Toyota Alteza is another Toyota representative suitable for drift rides. This is the most inexpensive sports car from our top. In the "stock" is equipped with an engine capacity of 210 liters. s. that for serious competitions it’s not enough, so most Altez owners change this engine to the 1JZ-GTE we already know. The design of this model is classic for a Japanese car.
Cars for Stens
It is worth saying that absolutely any production car can become a car for a stens. It does not matter how much it costs and what technical characteristics it has, because for owners who are involved in these cars it is not so important. Someone puts air suspension on them, some very “lay” the car on the floor, that is, they underestimate it as much as possible. Very often they are made simply incredible collapse, which seems to be like this car can’t move by itself, but that’s the point: these cars must move independently.
But still the most popular is Volkswagen Golf. For some reason, this particular car is universal in this class. Perhaps because of its design, and maybe because of the shape of the body.
Summarize
As it turned out, the most inexpensive sports cars in Russia are Japanese cars. European cars are very expensive to maintain.
Sports cars with a mileage of over 100 thousand are inexpensive. Japanese cars, with proper care and maintenance, can live all 200 and 300 thousand.
