Have you thought about what would happen to your clutch? your diff? your power steering? your suspension? your brakes? There are ton of parts to get into before you can track the car reliably. Buy the right car and call it a day. If catching a GTR is your goal, go buy one or find a slower driver you can pass and call it a day. Btw, look at how many heavily modded guys talking about preparing their car for the track, yet no one ever goes out.

The other poster is correct about you will never be satisfied with the mods.

You just listed the point in modding though, building a car to enjoy. I love the idea of just buying a GT-R and passing people, but I prefer the idea of taking this car and doing something unique with it. I get to put on my SC, modify my suspension, currently deciding on my brakes. It is part of the fun.
Yes I could just go buy a car and run it around and enjoy it, but that is not what I want.
Who said you would never be satisfied with the mods? Coop said it never ends, and that is true but that is the fun and enjoyment. Not that we do not get satisfaction, but we look for the next thing.

Also, look at other people on the track with NA setups, reliability is never something you bet on with any car (factory stock or modified). You want to track you will be dumping money in no matter what, how much is up to the owner and what he/she wants to enjoy.
