I'd like YOUR input...

I am considering turning my all original 89 IROC 350 that my dad bought new into a mildly prepped autocross car. I would:

Add stainless steel brake lines and some good pads.
Add subframe connectors
Replace the original and worn out struts (McPhersons).
Maybe add some lowering (stiffer) springs or just replace the fronts.
I have a set of 15" firebird wheels I would put some good R compound tires on for track use only.
Yank out all the smog pump crap and disconnect the A/C.
Maybe a better set of gears... 3.55 or something.

THOUGHTS??? Am I insane for doing that to this car? I don't want to use the 2010. Something about tearing up a $37,000 car doesn't seem right to me.

The car in question:
