Can it happen? Yes
Will hit happen? Probably not.
If a "hot shoe" wins the lottery or is financed, a winner for both could be built. It would take way over $500k to do, but there are plenty of talented builders out there that could pull this off. None of them have put the package together yet. The "Pro-touring" movement is rapidly advancing. It is just a matter of time before a top builder gets the knowledge needed to build a fast car that looks good enough to win SMOTY. Blu Balz is close on both fronts, but not there yet. If someone where to give me $500k, I could give it a shot!
