My dream come true would be to compete professionally.. let's see if this car can take me there.Sounds like you are gonna be fast, fast!
True but that would be a awhile I would need to save up. Not always easy having this beast and needing to make the car payment every month but for sure if I track more and more than I'll invest in something to beat on. Not a miatta though. I hate those cars. Rather have an old school m3 or Subaru.
I can understand that perspective for sure! And you can learn a lot in the Stang for sure. But if on a budget, the supply and cost for that spec is hard to beat. I encourage you to follow your heart on it though and get the race car you want and be happy vs. the one you can afford more easily
FWD, RWD, AWD... can you take a joke Chris? lol
I've blew my fair share of front wheel drive transmissions. Lol had a gti 16v do hc jetta was pretty fun front wheel drive. Definitely like rear wheel drive better. Never got to race an awd yet though. I hear ya about Alot more expensive to fix up the stang but we will see. For now it's my daily so wouldn't be a full track car anytime soon either. Maybe one more track day this year and we will go from there.I can understand that perspective for sure! And you can learn a lot in the Stang for sure.

I have heard however, that it is best to learn cars in the following order (wonder if this will be controversial
Sorry bro, sounds like I didnt give you enough cred because of first time at track thing lol...
LOL been strret racing and drag racing awhile before i got the bug for this. I like it alot more and keeps me out of trouble cause it's on the track. Plus I got tired of going fast in a straight line. I want to go fast around the corners.Sorry bro, sounds like I didnt give you enough cred because of first time at track thing lol...
I know I have lots of room for improvement but dam was fun. Would love to make this car my track car but you are right I don't want to beat it up to much. Lol. Once I have a nice truck it's on like donkey Kong for this car.
Nice, maybe eventually I can give a few tips on roadcourse and I could use some on getting a decent 1/4 mile time. (only tried once 15 years ago in the Maxi, of all carsLOL been strret racing and drag racing awhile before i got the bug for this.

How many track days you hit a year?
lower 14's at least..)

Never used launch control, kind of nervous about screwing it up haha
As for # of track days per year - a good year would be like 15. A bad year zilch
Personally, I started out doing autocross about 2002-ish if memory serves. Excellent way to learn extreme control situations in prep for HPDE, but once that's done I agree with others that you can't beat the $/fun of HPDE.
Dam. That would be to soon for me anyway. In the middle of moving to new spot. That would be bad ass though. How many track days would you think is safe to move to upper classes? Or is it just when you feel more comfortable?
Thats a bit of all right!Gotcha covered.
