My hard pipe radiator hose was waiting at my house when I arrived.

It is definitly cheaper if your car can handle the abuse (yours can). Tires are not cheap (mine are more) but it is best to have a set of race tires/wheels so you don't have to ruin your good street tires. I didn't have enough planning to get my setup right but I was not driving on a single tire I drive on the street. I used some "race" tires on the rear and James fronts which we used prior. Thought we destroyed them last time but still great for street and track.

I think I would want more power, that is why I probably wouldn't like a spec car.
