Spoke with Chris
 

and he was going to buy my car, changed his mind after I sent my bank info for the wire transfer and bought the ZR1.

Steve, our cars are similar but different...that makes a lot of sense. When I speak of track cars, I would pick up a Nationwide series or an old ASA car set up for road course work and rebody with a 2010 Camaro body from Howe. Put an LS motor in and I could be on the track with a fast car for less than $30,000. A few months ago a stripped nationwide roller went for $2500 at an auction here.

This is a pic of the rebody ASA car

If she is in town and I'm in town (ie, not on assignment) then both will be there.

That looks like a whole lot of fun right there! But there goes any street driving. With your current car you can hop in any time and go where you want. With a dedicated track car its going to limit how often you can enjoy it. Not to mention having to trailer it everwhere, all the support parts, tow rig maint., extra lic and insurance on a trailer and tow rig, and I am sure a ton of other little issues and expenses that go with it.

There's alot to be said for being able to jump in, hit the key and go.

Them's true words. I'd love to have a "track car" - as an "additional" car. Because a "track car" isn't a "Pro-Touring" car. It's a race car. If we're bringing them into the equation, you might as well change the thread title to "Real values on our PT, Stock, Sports, Track, etc cars". Doesn't make track cars any less desirable - they're just not IMHO "Pro-Touring", which I though at its heart was all around STREET cars capable of competing with modern performance cars.

I respect that. It's nice to see it's more than just the $ sometimes.

All of that is true
 

That is just me thinking the grass is always greener sort of thing. I really do not drive mine as much as I should on the steet, but that is about to change. Here I am talking about getting a race car and I just updated my amp and about to order a new sub. Nothing like 60 lbs of stereo crap in the trunk to help performance for a wanna be racer.

Back to the OP:

Its is tough to get a value for these cars. I know how much I have in mine, not counting the endless hours of my free time tweaking and tuning. If you have the right car, a person that the car checks all of the boxes, you are probably close to getting 75% to 80% of your money back.

I guess we could modify the old saying as...Speed and style cost money, how cool and quick do you want to be.

:drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

I would start off my track car build W/a car that had a VIN# & a title.That way you could kill 2 birds w/1 stone.:thumbsup:

I've been wanting to do one of those myself... If and when the red car goes away, I just may.
