What are some good cheap cars for racing?

Find a repo/towing yard and buy one at auction. Usually they don’t have any major problems b/c unlike buying from a person they didn’t wait until everything was broken before selling. They’re just old, ugly, beat up and dirt cheap which is perfect for racing. Do still perform all scheduled maintenance and install the necessary racing safety equipment.

Oh sorry as for individual models the repos will be older and chaper than what you listed, i.e. old BMW 3 or 7 (?), 200zx, older style supra, etc. RX-7s too, the older models are actually more reliable. You’re looking at maybe $300-$700 but if you’re gonna race you need to be ready for wrecks and dents so no sense spending a pile of dough.

If you’re looking for a new car, its hard to get better than the Chevy Cobalt SS for the money.

Also, the Dodge Neon was built for the purpose of blowing everything else away and they apparently manage very well but I like nothing more than my Cobalt on the track. I don’t race it, but I find that a few 120 mph laps (stock) to be mentally beneficial, at times.

It depends what type of racing you want to do. The cheapest car I can think of is a Mazda Miata, but it’s not good. You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one. mahindraxylo.net
