Hello all,
Thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point. I figured I should move from the general talks to an actual build thread now that I have a donor and I hope to purchase the kit today if I can get 1 or 2 questions answered.
I have decided to do a completely stock build to get going and then upgrade/play later so I have a comparison. I will daily drive this when weather is good but my son and I also love to autocross. Mostly SCCA but we do have a few big tracks near by.
My questions to get moving forward are, what is the handling difference between the short frame and the longer wheelbase of the stretched? I figure that the shorter wheel base should turn a little tighter and I am only 5'10" so height is not an issue, but if there were performance reasons to go longer I would buy the longer frame and just have more room???
Anyone have or seen the door option? I am thinking solid for strength but if someone has some experience with the door options I would love to hear about it.
Lastly, I am struggling with weather to buy the city or track. the city looks better but it seems the track is safer. I also think I could fix a removable roof and full windshield to the track version??
Thank you.
