Agreed.
if the car never leaves the street, I don't agree, but...Mine is right at about 750hp (put down 650rwhp) and I'm also looking for more. I'd like to get as close to 800rwhp as possible, which is pushing around 950hp. When you run 1mile, 1/2 mile, and 1/4 mile...there really isn't too much power. The only wall is your bank account or how much you're willing to throw at it.
For a track car, sure. Maybe I don't read enough of OP's posts but this sounds like a daily driver with the added benefit of racing/taking to the track (I mean he eventually wants a four door vehicle due to this).
It just seems to me that the mindset present within the initial post (spending a ton of money, things breaking, rinse repeat and then being fed up with the process enough that they got an entirely different car) doesn't necessarily agree with the attitude you have to have for a track vehicle.
Maybe am not presenting this the best way, but hopefully it makes sense what I am saying. IMO my suggestion would be to have a fast, fun, and reliable DD and then the balls to the wall track car on top of that (with the mindset that you may break stuff and it might be expensive).
That's just my opinion though.
