want to get a track only vehicle and have a budget of $10,000

needs to be RWD and plenty of parts readily available and preferably inexpensive

Id like to have something with some decent power so I don't feel like I'm stepping down from the s on the track.

gimme your thoughts

Have you considered a spec miata? Granted, there is a lot less power but it will really teach you how to drive.

$10k on top of an s2k or 10k total?

10k will barely get you an old s2k.

spec moto shifter kart?

Miata.
I spent about 15k on a s2k not including the car and it was a cheap class

you can buy a miata for about 8k built with a trailer.

the s is my daily driver so thats why id like to get something else strictly for the track

so.. used car + upgrades = 10k track car

krazik

then not an s2k.

i realize

well this is the s2k forum I'd say a miata or rx7. Look for an old used race car.

But none are gonna be as fast as an s2k.

Well if you're a really good driver you can lap a good spec miata (tho it will cost a lot more than 10k too) in about the same time as a stock s2k on ra1s.

But I'd expect for 10k to find a car that laps 2-5secs/lap slower than a 20k s2k (10k car+ 10k mods).

a spec miata sounds like a LOT of fun
