I want to purchase a car for auto-x, HPDE, and possibly TA, and other forms of non wheel-to-wheel racing.
My options are to take a loan on a 350z/E46 BMW and be paying for awhile, and have a weekend/auto-x only car(I am NOT taking the risk of a high speed mix-up on an open track in a car I owe 15k on.)

My other option is to buy an e36/240/e30 and just build a fun car I dont owe money on. However, I will certainly be sacrificing the on-street fun(lets be honest, driving in a car that grabs attention is fun), and ill obviously be sacrificing several years worth of performance engineering either way.


How many people here owe money on their fun/weekend car and race it?

I have a loan on my camaro and I plan to drag it but just haven't had the time. I do drive it on the street on nice days and I did spend around 12k on the car. But my d/d is a $500 beater of a pickup truck
