Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Any chassis can work well when setup properly for USGT. My advice is to visit your local track and see what chassis are supported there. Spare parts availability and others guys with the same car always play a huge factor in your enjoyment. If you buy a car just because it's cheap, and there is no local parts support, you could be caught going home early some race nights. But if the local track and racers have a common chassis, there will always be setup help and spare parts galore. If you have to pay a little bit more than you wanted at first, it may be better in the long run.
My local track supported VBC racing, so I went with a Ghost. The budget version of their high end car.
