well i think the kit car is tempting me more, im put off the z cars affter watch some dvds and the front end seems skitish, always liffing wheels, mite be fun but doesn't make a quick track car or a stable road car. and im wanting something to do track days in.

I think you might find that the ones that lift the front wheel are the big power cars (ie the 400bhp hyabusa turbo and the 320bhp twin r1 engined car) the others don't do that at all. I have been out in Z-cars demo car and I safely say that it does indeed handle very well!! On both those mini dvds Bill is stunned by the handling of the Z-cars kit so it can't be that bad... :nugget:

Lifting a wheel is not skittish Alex. All well built racing minis should lift a wheel, It means that the car is stiff.

To home build a z-cars mini you are looking at about £10,000 if you're any good.
