If you want a pureblooded racer that you can drive home from the track you'll need to keep your eyes wide open for an ACR, rare but occasionally available. Your guess is as good as mine as to an acceptable price, as there are none available to arrive at any price average.
If you're lucky enough to find one, you'll be in for the thrill of a lifetime. Nothing I've driven comes even close to the ACR's raw, knife edge performance. But just one precautionary word, be gentle, you're carrying a big stick.
