^ if you get an older one there are more possibilities of the car having problems and you risk money in having it repaired. With a new s you can enjoy it on and off the track

 

Buy it and post pics !!!

 

No offense, but this isn't accurate. The bolts only need upgraded if you plan to go F/I. No reason to upgrade them otherwise.

 

If it were me, I would confirm for *certain* the requirements first before basing a major purchasing decision on it, particularly considering you only plan to go 1 or 2 times a year. You could probably rent a track day car for less than the cost of tearing up a street car regardless of the street car's condition.

I have tracked my S at HPDE days here in California. There was no requirement for any after market roll bar in it.

 

^Great advice...

 

Personally, I would not take a pristine, low mileage example of a rare car, that is no longer in production, to modify into a track car.

Its kinda like back in the day when someone would take a muscle car, and cut up the rare hood to stick a blower through. They could have easily procured a basic hood from a more pedestrian, and cut that up instead, and kept the stock hood intact. They could have sold the stock hood or kept it for resale for their car. So it was in their financial interest not to destroy a rare commodity, but they did it anyway. Always made me cringe.

But it is just a car, so do what makes sense to you.

 

Had the same question when I was pricing out NSX's. I was looking for a pristine, unmodded vehicle. Then I realized how I'm not the type to leave a car stock but I would hate to start going all mod crazy on something so rare. I guess the tipping point would be if a mod was irreversible like wide fender flares and the such. If I were you, I'd pass on this one.

 

I bought a nice, low mileage car to use for track duty. I got a lower mileage one so that, in theory, parts would last longer. I know that over time, it will get beat up, but until then I also like to drive the car on the street and keep it clean.

 

Its one thing to bring a low mile street S to the track on occasion to let it do what it was born to, its quite another to take a pristine, low mile example of a rare, out of production vehicle and strip it and mod it into a dedicated track car.

Not sure its clear which the OP intends for his future S.
