What's the best car for running the touge?

>>15450662
any car that runs

Depends on the road quality, layout and whether you're doing time attack or battling.

uphill or downhill?
do you like fwd, rwd or 4wd?
light or heavy?
forced induction or naturally aspirated?
etc.

Assuming this is a tarmac mountain pass with very little road imperfections,

Time attack?

Something light with a lot of down force and suspension dialed in for maximum grip.

Battle?

Middleweight to lightweight, rear wheel drive with a suspension dialed in for very mild underwater or oversteer.

Battle is all about holding your position and not getting passed. Time.attack is just you against the clock. They require two very different styles of driving.

Pic sorta related. I just wanted to post a picture of a car.

Just because it's not the size of a Crown Vic doesn't mean it's not a large grand tourer. 1.80 m wide and upwards of 1500 kg for all the twin turbos.

If OP wants to do nothing other than running the touge his best bet is probably a Locost with a full cage.

Easy answer. Any car purpose built for track racing. I dont think a gt 86 will keep pace with a purpose built factory car.

I think you mean drag racing, not track racing.

These are pretty fast on what i think is the "American touge" (Waterford Hills) only 1 second slower than a 2008 GTR and faster than a E90 M3.

>>15450920
GT350 is more of a trackday car than it is a track car though.

>>15451050
This. A Viper with copious amounts of downfoece should always do the trick.

dude thats not even japan, i cant read the plate to know what province but nobody can race on a Chinese road look at all the god damn gravel

>>15451118

Probably something like this. Pic related holds the record for fastest Nurburgring laptime to this day.

>F20C swapped E36 318is
>Literally spending hundreds of thousands of yen for a custom engine management system, hundreds of hours of labor for wiring/tuning, custom subframe likely, etc
>To replace the most reliable part of a BMW and only get 200-210whp out of it (same as a bone stock US S50/S52 or Modded M52)
>Japs got LHD Euro E36 M3s with 286/321hp stock

why

>>15451125
Regular Mustang < Regular Viper < GT350R < Viper ACR in terms of laptimes if I recall correctly.

>>15451118
Thats why I posted a 350R and not a 350

>>15451151
Shit, looks like I didn't wake up properly today.

>>15451220
you think the ACR is faster than the gt350r?
really?

>>15451231
My bad then. The R beautifully skirts the line between track car and trackday car - while still being a nice Friday car.

>>15451244
The ACR is 20 seconda faster around the Ring, a full second around the Motortrend figure 8, and 4 seconds faster around NCM, not to mention the Viper holds 13 track records.

>>15451244
>hurrr is a 640hp supersports car faster than this sports coupe with an engine swap and coilovers?

>>15451216

Nothing can compete on the touge, uphill, downhill, doesn't matter

>>15454734
Evo or Impreza (first gens only), RX7 and Silvia, they're all under 1300kg
