i thinik a great 1st onroad is something brand new so you can build it and get a bit of wrenching experience...i think a tc4 is a great starting point....they are going to be fast for the next 3years (atleast) and factory team is only a couple of months away if that. just look at the tc3 im still using one and its historic and yet its still daaaaaaaym fast...what other 4 year old car can still win big races in the states??
