I ran one a long time ago in my Saleen Mustang - TON of fun!

I'd consider doing them occasionally in my 300ZXtt, once I 'freshen up' the motor/turbos. But I don't want to thrash the shit out of it too badly - and if you run hard, you WILL abuse the hell outta your car. I think doing them on a regular basis would pretty much require a dedicated toy.

It really only abuses the brakes and the tires.

Clutch.....Not so much. You don't shift as often as you think you might.

the only thing im worried about is the start, i dont want to fuck up the 5 speed transmission, its my weak point, the car was built and setup for autocross

The start at a Solo II is usually built around a turn, so it's not going to be like an all-out launch.

Auto-Xed for years. It's pointless--you can get a real trackday with 30x as much track time for ~twice the price. And you don't have to stand out in a field picking up cones for half the day.
