No stock car is safe, it will get smoked by a modded car or possibly smoked by a faster stock car........Every true racer knows you don't race stock, you build your machine then see what that baby can do...You can go with older model hatchbacks....89-91..They will be super light. I wouldn't go any year older than a 89 to be honest. Then I'd get a swap.......or you can get a EG...they are still fairly light.If you want to go for looks. Get a EK.Keep in mind considering swaps and modifications.
