Unless you're planning on winning the 24hr Lemans you can totally track a daily driver and still be competitive. A quick-spooling 300whp SR/KA-T, springs/dampers, r33 wheels, r33 brakes, r33 seats and a roll bar with full interior is all you really need.

That said, we grow more wise as we age. When I was 20, I didn't give a shit about my AC going out, it just meant MORE POWA. Now I will almost refuse to drive without it. Seeing people rip out A/Cs from 240s BECAUSE RACECAR only to sell the shell 6 months later because they lost interest resulting in a car that'll be THAT MUCH MORE of a pain in the ass to make nice again chaps my butt a little.

But yeah there's something to be said for being comfortable and having fun too.
Very true. I was a young idiot, but I had enough sense to keep the A/C intact. I did grow up in the desert, though lol
