I agree. Even if never on a track - the skills of most "spirited" drivers easily surpasses what most of these cars are capable of with stock components.

I have already driven my Camaro to the edge, when the handling was very scary.
Actually, last month on a trip to Germany for work. Well, I admit that someone with a red 1969 Camaro from Lateral-g.net encouraged me to test on how fast a rental car could go on the autobahn. I took the rental car up to 200 km/h, which is about 120 mph on the autobahn. I was just out of motor, and those pesky rich people in their Mercedes Benz/BMW's or Porsche would blink their lights or honk their horn at you. So you would have to get over in the middle lane. Now, if I had my 1967 Camaro finished and it was over in Germany. I wonder on who would be getting over in the middle lane?
So, when you have a need for speed!! Gotta have a custom front sub, Quadra-link, twin turbo, baer brakes, 3 piece wheels, recaro seats (Gotta be comfortable!!!)
The main reason for my project is to have a 67 Camaro that handles, brakes, and has some of the nice comforts of new cars. Another cool thing is now I have the money to create the Camaro that I always wanted.
