Message	Sure the drag strip takes its toll on the drivetrain (especially for 5spd Z's), but I think the road course definitely racks up the credit card for overall costs of "wear & tear" (both preventative and necessary maintenance). Road Course > tires, brakes, cooling, suspension, fluids, safety equipment Drag Strip > pair of rear tires, clutch, safety equipment (if necessary) 1990 Nissan 300ZXTT Stage III+ Pure sports car, 100% daily driven (dry/rain/snow)
