Ok, looks like Im gettin close to starting the project. Its crunch time (well, as far as the planning/bench racing stage is concerned. lol). I think Ive narrowed the field to either a VW or a Mustang. My roommate (and teammate) wants to go Mustang. Hes one of those throwbacks to a bygone era when American cars were the ONLY car to have. Its kinda scary, actually. ANYway, I know Marcello was talking about the issue of making weight in a Stang, but what other pitfalls should I keep my eyes out for?? Im also curious as to costs and beginner friendliness, both on the track and in the garage. Is this a good car to start out with???
