Right, I warned you!
And, yes, a track specific car makes a lot of sense for safety and piece of mind reasons. And
IF you can control your urges around mods and do a lot of track days, it can make financial sense.
However, I am just in the process of learning what it takes to turn a DE car into a race car. OMFG! I did grossly underestimate the financial commitment and the level of effort required!
I'm not bitter or anything, and in a really strange sense, it is been worth every penny so far (as long as you can afford it and keep yourself out of debt, etc).

Best series to watch IMO. These guys really go at it and remain cool about it for the most part. You don't see NASCAR style fist fights, etc in general. I guess that is the Aussie sprit?
