Porsche Boxster

The Porsche Boxster is a classic coupe that took the industry by storm in the late 90’s. Due to its immense popularity, you can now find Boxsters for very low prices in the used car market. They are also excellent racing cars with a blistering performance, razor-sharp handling and excellent build quality. If you can find the 2003 3.2-litre version, it boasts a 0-60 time of 5.7 and top speeds of 164 mph.

Mazda MX-5 Miata

The MX-5 is an iconic two-seater roadster that brought open-top driving to a much wider audience, but it is also a vehicle that packs quite the punch. The limited edition Miata from 2012 is a great choice for those looking to race with a six-speed manual transmission and a 2.0-litre 155 bhp engine along with beautiful looks. It is lightweight thanks to the use of aluminium, so you can expect fast speeds and light handling with this terrific sports car.

Finding the perfect racing car is vital and it is much more than what the top speed or acceleration of the car is. If you are looking for a great used car for racing, you cannot go wrong with the above.
