just as a thought experiment, what's the best possible touge car?>money no object>must be road legal>mods allowed
Cappuccino with ls or lt swap
>>2890834180:20 weight distribution and a wet noodle chassis for the power output would be a terrible car.
>>28908341there's a good reason why this isnt more common, let alone for tougehint: its not because of the price
meant for>>28908341
>>28908340>money no objectSame as the best car for any other drive: McLaren F1.
>>28908340Caparo T1.
>>28908340>best possible touge car>money no object
>>28908370is that road legal?
>>28908371It could be if you try hard enough
>>28908340
>>28908362>>28908370realistically the terrain is too bumpy for them and it's gonna underperform due to how tight mountain roads are >>28908374too slow, im sure an NSX can smoke it
>>28908340Cayman is probably already up towards the top of the list. I'd say anything with a shortish wheelbase and RWD or rear-biased AWD. Focus RS type cars or BMW 1-series would also be nice.
>>28908397>too slow, im sure an NSX can smoke itNTA you replied to, but you better be joking
nothing personnel kid
>>28908362>>28908374Both are super cool but GMA T50 is faster than Mclaren F1 and Ariel Atom is faster than Caterham
>>28908340Do 2 wheeled cars count?
>>28908416>2 wheeled>car
>>28908417Well, it may not be a car in the traditional sense but who wouldn't want to take it on a touge?
>>28908340toyota ae86 with a 20v group A engine, obviously
>>28908421you can go downhill very quickly if you have a medical helicopter ride ready at the bottom
>>28908340lotus elise with a few simple mods
>>28908340Probably one of those open wheel kit cars with a fat fucking v8.Although I reckon awd would be faster, actually. So maybe a tuned Evo IX or some sort of other homogulation special, back when WRC required them.
ZR1X with as much aero as you can cram onto it would be a strong contender if you didn’t want to get too deep into the guts of something, but a Golf R with huge aero and tuned to 1300 hp would do similar things and maybe better due to shorter wheelbase.

Top fuel dragster, drive it off the side of the mountain, its even got a parachute already built in. Land softly at the bottom and wait for tofu boy to catch up.
>>28908894Would a TTV8 really have a better torque curve for togue than the naturally aspirated eray?
>>28908340Depends on the skill of the driver.
>>28908946Yes
>>28908889>Probably one of those open wheel kit cars with a fat fucking v8.Sounds like one of these. 8+ liter big block800+hp1600lbshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAHgdT13pdY
>>28908340idk but while the nerds are sliding around I'll be joyriding down the hakone in a miata with my kawaii jdm gf and having the best time
>>28908340Best for what? Uphill or downhill? Fastest or just most fun?
>>28908340unironically miatathey're quicker than "actual fast" cars on super twisty roads, the only edge a fat tire supercar has is the exit speeds which get to kill you speeds in no time, it's not even fun once you've done it a few times
>>28908340Something tiny Stock ND on good tires would be fun as well.
>>28909122Atom Ariel 4 is a good answer. Can be made road legal with ease, and it’s not even that expensive. This thing is a grip monster.
miata is way too underpowered for uphill touge. Ariel atom is probably a good choice. Needs to be small, good power to weight ratio, and have a real suspension setup (unlike the NARP in the OP)
>>28908340Fucking retarted they decided to turn these into electric
>>28908340Ae86
>>28908977CHEBBY BIG BLAWK HOSS, GOBBLESSBut again, it falls to the same problem of ride height as the Mazda.
Something extremely tiny, light and balanced. You don't want too much power because you can't even use it most of the time, but it really depends on the road. Personally, if I had to build the ultimate toegay machine, I would go with a turbo k swap lotus elise.
