[QUOTE="Bro_Gill, post: 1848058, member: 13248"] For your case, either would be fine. 11 will be harder to prep and maintain simply because you can't use race parts, but the class is epic and VWs rule. Since you aren't chasing points, the 5-1600 is a good starter car since it isn't that expensive to run as a hobby type car and you already have one. It is easier to maintain and race parts make it a good car to drive without fear of really tearing it up. The suspension parts are generally tougher than the speeds the cars are capable of. Plus, if you ever get the itch to go race in either a small Mexico race or the grand daddy of them all, it is a good car for either of those plans since there are plenty of them in Mexico. [/QUOTE]
