Hell, we'll build twin cars...one optimized for SMOTY competition and its evil twin to run Optima!

Don't laugh...its been done in other venues.

Anyone remember Stan Shaw about 25 years ago with a red 57 Chevy? Great guy...great cars. The "street" car was a steel 57 with a blown, intercooled, EFI big cube Chevy engine. [extremely radical for its time]The "race" car was a tube framed fiberglass body car that ran hard on alcohol...in the sixes if I remember right.

I'm with Rodger...at some point [and were not far off] it make infinitely more sense to build a real race car for racing, and a comfy street car for the street. It all depends on your definition of both. And your wallet. And your willingness to chase...whatever it is were all chasing.
