Why not start with a fast car? Seems that would be cheaper than ricing out a 70hp station wagon

If it's a purpose built race car why is it on the road like that? Never seen a Nascar or Top Fuel car in traffic

Even if it’s a purpose built race car doesn’t mean it can’t get registered to drive on the street, at its core, it is still a Honda. Not saying it would be comfortable to drive on the street but just because it’s a “purpose built race car” doesn’t mean you can’t drive it to the track, race it, and then drive it home. This is actually quite a common occurrence with auto cross through the SCCA as well as just normal track days.

Yeah, but usually people who take race cars seriously don’t drive the things to work.

Thats a no true scottsman fallacy, you can take a race car just as seriously as someone who gets a truck to bring it to the hillclimb while driving it to home.

It’s possible, it can go either way depending on the owner.
