More true words have never been spoken. People get all wound up about resale and building THE perfect car, etc....I built my GTO almost 10 years ago. It is the very first car I have ever owned and unless something drastic happens I don't plan on selling it. Since it was done I have done track days, auto-crosses, dozens of trips to the drag strip, and two 4000 mile road trips. I have swapped engines, brakes, suspension components, and tackled numerous technical challenges. The point is that I've been having FUN with my car.
I've also built a couple of dirt bag RX7s with LS swaps which were awesome cars. I could drive them anywhere, run circles around Corvettes and even stock Vipers, and park them anywhere without fear of getting door dings. Those projects were loads of fun!
I don't have deep pockets to commission builds by DSE or Mark Stielow, but I love seeing them come to life, because they push the envelope and set the bar ever higher, which is good for the hobby overall.
