Hey GF...you may also want to try lurking around honda-tech.com for some additional input.

I concur with the sentiments about building vs. buying a race car. Advantages to either track. That being said, you will have a hoot in IT racing regardlewss of your car prep or personal experience level largely because with the groupings as they are you will likely always have someone to dice with whether you are a frontrunner, mid packer or dead ass last. May not be in your class, but it's still a hoot.
