RX-8. Newer if possible. More reliable in my experience.

 

Have you hauled children in your 8, and autocrossed it?? How has that worked out for you? I'm not being bias here. I am being realistic.

I really like, and relate to, this thread.

I've had a number of cars (2 and 4 seat) and have come to the realization that, compared to the few weekends I HPDE alone, the remaining weekends are more fun with the family in tow.

In fact, I am considering the RX8, among others, to replace my LS1 FC. The FC is a hoot, but it's hard to share with my wife or boys.

Thanks for the thoughtful replies!

cheap, reliable 4 door to drive family around, 7 to play with (if you break the 7 it won't be a big deal)

 

OP: Keep us posted on what you decided on.

 

rx7 is better shape.
