I totally see your point. But, I will say that my reason for not going to track days is costs. Please correct me if I am wrong, but tires alone will set you back almost $900. Then, your brakes will fade early, your suspension will become loose, and your frame will begin to rattle more often (due to taking hard cornering). I had a friend who auto-crossed his M5 many times at Watkins Glen, and his car felt very beaten on. If I had the extra cash, I would buy a second car for the track, because currently, the Crossfire is my daily driver. Plus, wouldn't insurance not cover collisions on a race track? I will repeat myself...if it wasn't for the (assumed) cost of driving your car on the track was very low, I would be to the track/autocross every weekend. Nevertheless, I really like the mods that you did to your car, especially the SPARCOS!!! Were they a simple installation? And, more importantly, can you give us all an estimate cost of running the Crossfire on a track?
