Default When does too much Racing influence hurt the Value of a Car

To All:

I had typed this for the most part in another part of the forum, so here it is in it's own title.

Pro-Touring (Penny) vs. Street Driven Race Car. Why so much difference in price?

You take a nice Pro-Touring car like "Penny", and to buy one you would spend say 100k.

You Take the same year Camaro that is closer to a Race Car, but it has an interior like a "Nice" Race Car, or even a car with a similar interior to "Penny".

Why would one be worth 100k, and the other be worth only a fraction of that?

I could be wrong, but it seems like a new Race Cars (NO Racing History) will have a much lessor value than a Pro Touring of the same year.

One is faster and lighter etc., the other has a more comfortable interior and a more subtle engine.

OR

If the Race Car was Equipped with more creature comforts would it have an equal value?

Any and all thoughts are welcome.

Thanks,

Ty
