none have LSD except late rev5's.

Depends on how your wallets feling really but ideal track n/a would be a beams tin tip g-ltd, or a rev3 on tin top gltd.

I've tracked my current n/a twice as my mazda was waiting for a the turbo to be refurbed, not in the same fun league as the mazda. I think if you stripped a tin top to the bone it could be good.

yes, all tin top cars are import g-ltds. The rev3 engine is better than the rev 1 & 2 engine, also better brakes etc. If you look at Rogue's Championship cars thats a good indicator of what makes a good track car.
