I really may never understand just how much money people make to afford cars today. I think I do pretty well - 6 digits - and the thought of spending $75000 or even $40000 on a car today makes me get really really itchy. I think it'd be an albatross - and i LOVE cars. I am a car-guy. I've done my share of track events and autocross; crashed on 4 wheels and 2...but holy shitballs.
Take that hellcat to a track day - get a solid instructor to go with you for awhile. Learn the car. Have fun.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
