Welcome to the club... I'm happy to see others experiencing what the car is capable of doing on a road course. That's what it was designed for, not drag strips...

Not to belittle your concern about beating-up your car, if it's your daily driver and you plan on keeping it for a long time, you'll end-up having to do more maintenance, but this is a strong car and will take the abuse as long as you maintain it properly and don't do too many off road excursions.

I started out running track events with my Crossfire two years ago and now race it professionally. It has taken much abuse and still keeps plugging away. I change my oil after every weekend, replace brake pads every few weeks and burn through a set of Hoosier racing tires per event.

if you're really excited about participating in track days with a crossfire and don't want to beat-up yours, go rent one for the day from Enterprise, take out the extended insurance, and tape-up the license plates (don't tell em I told you). LOL

Have fun, be safe !!!
