You can keep the mazda stock and kick ass in that. The Mazda is top car
in Super Stock right now. '93 Mazdas and beyond are dominating S/S and
the vettes, even though I hate to see that. Last year's super stock
national champion was in a mazda. So I would say keep on learning to
drive your 93 mazda and fix it up as much as you can following the Super
Stock rules. I don't think that your '88 selica would be competitive in
D/SP or E/P, unless you put some nitrous oxide in it. But that's my
opinion, it's up to you of course.
