I have never been a huge fan of drag racing. I'm more of a circle track/ road track kind of guy. Whenever I modified the my Talon I took the suspension/handling, and braking into account way more than power. The off road rally doesn't require a lot of power, for me that is, so I never bothered with upgrading the turbo, etc.. The 14b doesn't have a lot of turbo lag anyways which was ideal for me on tracks with short straight aways and a lot of turns.
I don't want to drive off road with the GTP I get but I would like to take it around a track. I know it has it's downfalls being front wheel drive and more, but I'm not too worried about that. I'll work around that. What I would like to ask is for peoples opinions on whether I should purchase the 4-door sedan model, or the 2 door coupe model? I'm looking into a 99-03 GTP, unless it's a 98 Daytona Pace car edition.
I'm wondering if the 4 door sedan would be better for what I want because of the slightly longer frame which could result in better stability. I know that many Honda and Mazda teams have been using the TSX and 4 Door Mazda 6's rather than the coupes. Does this sound like a legit consideration when looking for a track use GTP?
Has anyone else attempted to build a GTP built around road track use rather than the drag strip?
Thanks again and I appreciate everyones help and advice.
