Just like my 10 second scooter is too scary to ride at 10/10ths.

Thanks for this long post and great info! I will follow your build. Mind if I PM you some questions along the way?
Not at all; I'll be happy to answer questions or help out with any info I have.

I'm aiming for 450-460 rwhp for power and putting the rest of my money into reducing weight where reasonable and upgrading the suspension, drivetrain, brakes. I want a car that I CAN drive near 10/10ths if I want to on the track from time to time, but will be a pure joy to drive at 7 or 8/10ths which is mostly where I'll probably be. I'm not doing a 10/10ths build for similar reasons like you stated; I'm not out to prove anything to anybody and this isn't an extension of my self-esteem. I want my car to be fun, competent and one sweet ride.
