It is not IF you bend your track car it is WHEN.
The first thing to ask yourself is do you want to race and compete or do you just want to play occasionally on sprint days.
If you want to compete then buying and falcon or commodore is a waste of time. You would be taking a knife to a gun fight.
I did quite a bit of sprinting in my F6 and wiped the floor with almost every FPV/HSV/T3 I came up against.
I tried my luck against EVOs, MX5s, Dattos etc and had them right up to the first corner.......
Porsche, Elfin, Lotus etc usually got me BEFORE the first corner.
The best thing to do is attend a few events, watch and listen. You will very quickly see for yourself what is truth and what is fantasy.
Then buy what suits YOU.
Remember this is not 400m amateur drag racing, adding power and bolt on farkles will NOT compensate for lack of driving skill.
You also need REAL safety equipment. $1000 helmet, armour, gloves, jacket, boots are all overpriced and geeky wannabe UNTIL they save you from a long stint in hospital or even longer in a grave...
Have fun, I love every second of it...
