Default Retired SCCA car vs ProTouring for Track Day

So I'm thinking about getting a retired SCCA Camaro or Mustang race car from the American Sedan or CMC series to be a dedicated track car. Probably a late 80's to mid 90's model. I have a 70 Camaro that was kind of built by previous owner to do track days and I have done a couple with it. But as usual it doesn't have the cooling ducts, oil coolers, and safety equipment to run some of the tracks. I live 3 hours away from Road America and that is one fast track. I guess my main thing is the safety side of it ( cage, fuel cell, etc. ) that you get with a race car.

So have any of you made this jump are you satisfied that you did it ? Any experiences you care to share will be welcomed. Did you find it to be more cost effective relative to your PT car ?

Thanks
