Well, at least you're thinking, you gotta begin somewhere. I don't think your ideas are overkill. The only thing is that I've come to learn that things take time and usually cost more than you plan so keep that in mind. Also, I'd look at a gradual build rather than an all out build. Pic a car to start on depending on your driving habits/situation and start planning for that. For example, if you wanna have a good weekend warrior, start by planning a mid to high 12 sec car that you could run at the track and while having a little fun with it from time to time, save up for a power adder such as nitrous or blower to knock off a second or 2. THat way, your plans will become more refined during this time also gaining knowledge and you can still have some fun in the mean time. Just some thoughts...
