Well, I have taken the plunge and have been racing mod with the Spec-R, baby steps of course running a 7.5 to begin with a butt load of boost and turbo. So far, so good, have had some huge smashes with it cartwheeling down the main straight when i get it wrong and the only things that break are the outer hinge pins and or it pops out a tow block. Gotta love it when that huge crash costs you less than 50 cents in repairs
