I keep hearing "preferably" a trailer. Knock that out of your mind right now.
No trailer, has to be registered and can be driven on street. I don't think you guys realize how much time/effort/money it is running a trailer. I can tell you this is a hard stop for actually getting use out of the car. Also whoever is storing it needs to move it easily, as cars that can't move without a trailer end up sitting A LOT.
Honda/Acura/Miata..go for it. Volvo? Sounds cool, but look how many actually run around and take the abuse...(and are fun to drive)
Just remember what alumni in the club has resources/money/time that WANT to donate to the effort. Leveraging their experience, spares, parts using a well known formula is the only reason I would suggest an E36/E46. Hate me all you want, til you realize the amount of spare parts Jake/I/friends replace on a active basis that are still very useable for a street car.
I also agree with some on here, autox/rallyx only. Approaching the track day thing is too expensive and too much liability.
I think it can be pulled off, but avoid "off the wall" projects. MM already tried that with Merkurs and that project failed miserably and ended up being a pain later.
