Should have Thought of this Sooner, This last year was Full Of Miata's Cars, TRUCKS, Collage, High School, There were a bunch of them . This year I am Bringing a Fiero, Paul Has One w/a supercharged 3800, I know of one in Ohio with a 3.4 for just a Hundred Bucks, There are Lots of them out there, and there are a Plethora of engine combo's, Lot's of Tweeks can be made to the Suspension, they are Kinda Light, there Isn't a Safer Chassis out there, Mid Engine 4-5-6 speed Manual transmissions and 3-4 speed auto's, 7730 Ecm's Easy to Modify.
I'm Out to beat an Insight, In side and Out.
I think I have the Answer ! I can't be the Only One .

I have a friend in Cincinnati that has had these for 20 years or more and knows them pretty well. If anyone wants to join GTX and needs a car he will either have one or know where to get one cheaply. (heck, he talked me into buying a couple over the years..).

You're sure to beat the Insight next year because we're retiring the car!
Fieros have been at The Challenge. I don't think any have broken into the top 10, but I may be wrong. I think Paul's car has the potential to top 5 with a appropriately smart team.
Sexy. 14th overall. 7th autocross. 15.2 second drags. (Nitrous would have helped since it has a sub 2 second 60' time. Oh and a horrible alignment for drags.)

So what creation are you doing next year?
To OP...I don't like idea of a specific model sub class...stifles creativity and limits choices. Love general categories such as truck, aristocrat, soccer mom, etc. But not a specific models. Besides there already is a permanent annual sub class...the MIATA.
In reply to Ovid_and_Flem :
More German, more cylinders, and more snails.
Don't know about a truck made from a fiero and a wagon wouldn't be acceptable, But a Miata Vs. Fiero may evolve with some side bets, Not only the trans options that really are Mostly bolt in with some bracket changes, but engine choices are plentiful, Chevy 3.4,/3.4 w/buick heads(mine +turbo) Buick/olds 3100/3300/3400 3800 3800supercharged, Cadillac 4100, 4.9 and Northstar V-8, chevy V-8 with an adaptor,and an LS works too, so that's my Answer.
The Vette is more of a challenge just Now because of the Body work I am Doing
Stan, the 100 dollar car is in Springdale and is a bud of your's I think.
Matthew, I kinda knew that But are ya'll gonna do the Electric car with Yellow Cake Generator. ?
Spin out, I know, the one I am bringing back was the 2015 Parking lot build that according to Pimpn3 was Flying on the Autocross but was damaged in the Drags, Plus I have a few Month's to sort it out instead of Over Night Like the PLB or the Mystery Machine (which will also be Back).
Hey it's just a thought, I mean this site is all about Enabling Poor Choices, Right !
In reply to GTXVette :
Oh right, it'll be more German, more cylinders, more snail, and more nuclear.
