Not only is it a crossover, its proly not available with a manual trans... So it will never be legal unless you have a disability and get it approved :/

In regards to getting on the track: have you done any trackdays or PDX's yet? Any autocross? IMHO you should do a few of those with the ZDX, cuz that's what you know and then go from there...

You should check out Dave Gran's website and/or buy his book. It will REALLY help guide you into the sport! I believe it is www.goaheadtakethewheel.com
