Maybe that's why he thinks 75Gs is affordable LOL!!!
If I wanted to acquire a track ONLY car (not legal for street), I would spend about 30-35Gs on a very well sorted, used race car with plenty of spare parts included and quite often a new motor. Many many many such cars are available, including stock cars set up for road course which are absolute MONSTERS. (But I suspect you know all this ). BTW been a route of modding a car (yep it was a Stang) and won't do it again, ever. My strategy is simple: stock car, better seats (if required), safety, better front brakes (if required and economical) proper pads and fluids and proper tires. The last 4 are consumables and hence not worthy of fretting about.
