I get that the car would be better with a build to ST or SSC, but for autocross, I think newbies still learn better in a stock car. Once you build into a class, you really need to do everything allowed in that class to be competitive, and it doesn't change the flesh and bones sitting in the driver's seat. Its already a stretch to consider buying him a car like this, let alone prepping it beyond the basic necessities for track reliability.

The only way to update the coilpacks is to swap out the engine wiring harness (I had mine done under warranty), otherwise you just treat the coilpacks as consumables and swap them as they go bad. A stock car is perfectly fine for autox and track. You might be able to find an SSC car for sale on the forums for the same price as a stock example, but the only real issue the stock car has is the lack of front camber which leads to excessive camber wear.
The SSC class is a spec class and you have to run the whole kit to run in the class.
