It's probably moot. I don't plan to stay in Stock long-term anyway;
although I'm not averse to spending in support of my habit I don't like the
idea of buying a new car every couple years just to stay competitive.
I figure in a couple years I'll start building my Miata into a CSP car or
maybe buy a F500 car (which I could tow behind my Miata in a pinch). This
all depends on what my financial situation looks like at that time.
