If you don't put the car in the gravel at least once, YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH!

You can kiss the paint on the spats goodbye before we even think about what it will do to the bumper and doors. lol.'79 Trans Am W72 400/4spd Y84 S/E with WS6 T-Tops LSD AC OK?
Remember, big engines are for those trying to compensate for something.

One thing that nobody mentioned. You need to see if your wife really wants to race. You could spend the $$$ and just have an extra car( not a bad thing, LOL)
Why not use a daily driver for a race or two then if she really enjoys it tehn get her a car.
Autocrossing is not always about winning it is about just having fun, I ran a 85 2wd s-10 Blazer, came in last every race but placed second for yearly points. I had a ball.

If she decides that it's not her cup-o-tea, then I'll take over the project and build it the way I want it. It's not like we will be starting out with a huge investment in the chosen car. Again, I just thought it would give us something to do together..... I don't know.JC Scott
