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,

I do believe the more you take a car out in public and pound the hell out of, reduces the value at resale, IMO.
