I'd send it to Crawford for a full build and throw some HRE's / BBS LM's on it. Maybe have a friend manufactuer some CF bits?

Also I'd load it up with all of our LED/HID products lol

AP Racing Endurance kit

TE37SL+Advan AD08's

Drive to SoCal

Run at Buttonwillow

Suck

Have @CSG Mike help me choose a coilover that best suits my driving INability+ teach me how not to suck at driving (maybe that before the coilovers)

Buy said coilovers

Drive back to East Coast

Spend rest of money on PDX's HPDE's, and Time Trials

But in real life put it towards grad school

It would no longer be street legal.

$25k and it's full race car. Would probably prep around 10:1 weight/power or better and prep it for the 25 hours of ThunderHill.

Honestly... I'd need an additional $25k to get it where I want it to be for Thunderhill.

I mean lifetime of the car, $25k in tires should last at least 10 years of hard driving if you're conservative.

:lol:

Another option could be to just drop off your FRS/BRZ with a 25k check, and just let us do our thing with it...

You can drive fast without shredding tires.

Sure it isn't as fun but equipment management is usually more important than that extra .1 second per lap. Besides, I was under the assumption this was personal/hobby pursuits, $25k of tires wouldn't get you very far in most competitive series.

Most people aren't replacing tires yearly either, even with track days :party0030:

Uh... I'd buy the car.

:D

I like the Crawford idea. I'd probably do that the second time I won $25k. And how do you not already have all of your own LED/HID products!? LOL I figured your car, if anyone's, would be made out of LEDs at this point.
