But based on this thread and your responses to everyone's suggestions, I propose you change your Motto in your profile to:

Fast, Reliable, Cheap, I can fit in it, fun, a class/venue/series where I can be competitive, not a Corvette, open wheel, vintage, etc... : I want them all!!!
This thread isn't about finding me a racecar. It's about making sure going racing with the car I've got is worth the money. So I'm not looking for something with a specific set criteria, I'm just making sure I'm not forgetting something.

Sure a $30k-$80k car upfront is going to be a lot less work than a $5,000 car up front, at least to go as fast as my car currently goes, since my car is essentially a $30k car with $15k put into it. But my car is paid off, and not worth much to sell... so it seems dumb to get into something else at that price, unless it will cost me like $1000/year to race... and there's nothing that cheap to race... tires alone blow that budget.
