Um, you do realize that this isn't a street legal car, right? Unless you're a professional racing driver who competes in actual race series, what's the point of such a car? It comes with NO warranty, and will be VERY VERY VERY expensive to maintain. You practically need to rebuild the drive train every few hundred hours or so. 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?

Not just emissions, also noise regulations. This car probably has test pipes dumping straight into the air, and along with that crashbox transmission will mean one very very very noisy car! Also, I'm not sure if a racing 6 point harness is legal or if you must have a 3 point seatbelt. Other requirements include ABS, traction control, airbags, etc. Not sure about the legality of running a car lacking all these either. Obviously you also need street legal tires. And I'm not sure if this car has plastic windows but I don't think these are legal either. Brakes are also definitely neither legal nor safe on the street. The pads won't grab at all until they reach very very high temperatures typical on a track but not on the street. There's a lot of work that has to go into making this car street legal, it's not as easy as just slapping on a muffler and catalytic converter.

Also, I was just pulling crap out of my *** when I mentioned the hundreds of hours thing. i don't know for sure how long this car would last before requiring massive rebuilding of its critical components, but I'm sure it won't last very long. These are race cars. They aren't built for durability or reliability. They're made to go as fast as possible around a track, cross the finishing line, and then break down soon after. For example, that engine is pushing 400 hp out of 3.6 litres. That means very aggressive timing, super high octane fuel, etc. That's not an engine that will transport you to the local supermarket for shopping. That's an engine that will perform at a very high temp, provide lots of power and performance for a brief duration, and then require a very expensive repair. And don't forget that sequential gearbox that will require high maintenance of its own.

Really, that 100 k purchase price will be the least of your nightmares with a car like that. You'll probably spend as much per year fixing and maintaining it

For that money, a used GT3 or even GT3RS would be a much better buy. It's 90% of the fun and performance, yet it's road legal. You can take it to go shopping. it's very reliable. It runs on pump gas. And it comes with a warranty from the factory.
