[QUOTE="gcassidy, post: 6441458, member: 13216"] OK, Juan. I'm actually turning off my TV while responding to this one. I want to be as clear as I can. Right now in your life is the point where you will be chosing one of two paths. And I say this because you say you're not rich, and I can relate to that. You want to have, as you say, "a car thats impressive in every aspect of performance". That is following the path of building up a show car, and the costs that go along with it. And that's fine, millions do it. But on the other hand, you say you've "gone to 1 track even and had a BLAST. I'm going to try and go to as many events as i can". This is where you need to follow the path of realizing that the car you own right now is about 95% better than you are, and you need to spend time on the track building up the skills to [I]NEED[/I] better brakes than the PBR's your car came with. Sure, if you have the $$$, you can build the ultimate track car (I've seen that happen somewhere :rolleyes:), but you'll never learn how to correct a slide if your car doesn't slide. My advise is spend the money on good tires (if you need them), and put the rest of it towards entry fees for Open Track events. Then replace your components as your skills have advanced beyond what those components can do. [/QUOTE]
