what car would you reccomend for a beginner autocrosser, i plan on using my j to start of with, but once i get good enough to require upgrades to my car i think i would rather put the money into a different car. something that has more potential. or at the very least something that would be easier to acheive the potential it has.
Pick a class you might want to compete in, then look at Nationals results and see which cars are up front and buy one of those. If you're looking at a stock class, you will usually have to be in a car built in the last 5 years or so to have any shot.

Miata for good cheap fun. FWD sucks. If you don't mind doing a little more suspension work to get the same results to avoid driving a girly car (as we all know the Miata is) get 240SX.
It's oh so cheesey!
got to go with the miata. there well balanced

miata if you want something cheap, S2000 if you have extra $$$ or lotus elise or exige if you have lots of $$$

If you want to win:
STS - 89, or 88 can't remember. Civic Hatch search the net the perfect build is out there and was written by a National Winner.
GS - Mini Cooper S (look to see me sporting one of these by next year when my sunfire is paid off).
HS - Mini Cooper non-S (seeing a pattern here)
CS - views are mixed right now
BS - RX-8
STU, SM - Lancer Evolution
Thats all I can think of off the top of my head. Check the SCCA website for national results and you'll see consistent patters for top cars.
