Not to mention you need another job just to afford tires and brakes on that thing. Even for a weekend HPDE track toy, that thing is just too extreme and too expensive for it. That previous amateur driver who used this car for HPDE must've been some very rich millionaire with money to burn

I see all the lights, and mirrors required by AZ state law, and it's built on a chassis that's legal at the federal level. The only obstacle to driving it on the street legally would be emissions. My family has a cabin in N. Arizona, where emissions testing doesn't even happen so for someone in a situation like me this car could be street legal in, literally, minutes. 10 minutes at a 3rd party MVD and I'd be good to go. Practical? No. No way. Fun? You bet. I'd give up some good coin to hoon this car around town for a weekend.
This car wouldn't be bad to own, if you can do your own maintenance. A few hundred hours? That's a lot of racing lol. An HPDE session usually lasts what, 20 minutes?
