I am new to the IT community and am looking to buy my first race car. A former racer in my area has a 1980 ZX ITS car that has not been raced in 4-6 years. It appears in good condition, has all the proper equipment (cage, fuel cell, etc), a fresh engine and probably does not need that much work to get ready for use (fluids, belts, tires, general checkover).
I don't have any experience with the 240/260/280 Z cars. How are these cars as track cars? How are they to work on and maintain? Are most typical wear items still available? Do they have any known weak areas? Are they relatively competitve? I'm looking for a good car to hone my driving skills and have fun without spending TONS of money or time working on it. Any information is greatly appreciated.
