I won't cry if I accidentally stuff my 25-yr-old Toyota into a tire barrier, whereas I might if I did it in my brand new Subaru that I need to get me to work the following day...
Any word on a Spec-86 series in the States? I guess it could take a while; they only just announced a spec racing series for the 350Z this year. I think it would be a lot of fun for people with the budget - something different than Spec Miata, and a little higher skill than the B Spec series (Mazda 2, Fiesta, Fit).

I'm hoping to get a factory five 818 as a track car once I have a place to build it. The BRZ will be a commuter car for me that I can also use to learn RWD dynamics at autox and track days on weekends, skills that I can eventually transfer to the 818. There is a spec racing series for the factory five roadster so hopefully they'll do one for the 818 as well.
