Agreed on everything you posted.
Still, sometimes it is nice to dream a bit
I have "somewhat finished" my S13, after something like 4 or 5 years of work. And my goal was quite simple; no engine rebuild nor swap, circa 300HP (my car came with a CA18DET as it is a european one, so thats a basic "stage 3" design running e85) and a chassis that can handle it.
And it really feels good now. But it frustrated me for 4 years, working on it every week, breaking things, learning and so on.
The thing is, no stock car feels like that. Not even porsches i tried. And i cant afford them anyway.
It runs and i am quite happy with it
Still you are right, it is unfinished. I need to glue the spoiler, change some bushes, find faulty couplers that sometimes leak, and so on.
I know it will never be finished. And it probably will end its life in some tyre walls on a track. When that happens ... i will get/build a true race car, because i like that, and because i acquired some skills when buliding the S13. Oh, and because i know how much its costs, and how much money i have to spend. That is a very important thing
