First of all, congrats on putting the deposit down for that BGTS 4.0! You already know you'll enjoy the car. Hopefully it'll come soon enough within 12 - 24 months. In the mean time, keep staring at that options list and agonize over what you'd want to add to your build LOL~
I'd also say that you shouldn't count yourself short on how much potential you have with your driving! For the most part, I think most car enthusiasts have the capacity to drive a sports car at a brisk enough pace on track to thoroughly enjoy themselves. Usually, most novice drivers I coach at Mission can do exactly just that over the course of 1 - 3 track days (that isn't spread over too long of a break). And then if you keep going at it, they'll be able to comfortably squeeze a good amount of what their cars are capable of.
Hope to see you in the BGTS on track soon enough~! (Maybe or maybe not at Mission, even though I still think it is a fun and easily accessible track.)

I think I'd almost be embarrassed to be seen with it in some cases (The C7 is much more attractive). The reliability aspect on track probably doesn't ever affect me though - I have no ability to push a car like that till it blows.
FWIW, last week I put a deposit down for a Boxster GTS 4.0 so I've made my call on how to spend close to this kind of money (now I have to actually find the money if I get an allocation).
