I thought I would throw this out there for discussion. I want to limit this to mid 70's cars and before. There is no question that you can take a new C6Z06 with mild mods or stock for that matter and it will dust about anything we can build.

We all like the older body styles and most on this site and others are trying to build the ultimate pro-tour car. When do you finally get to the point and say...I might as well build a race car and make it street legal?

I am going to be off on these numbers as I am taking a guess. Take a first gen Camaro and put in Lateral Dynamics 3-link. $6000 for the kit and installation. 21st Century sub frame with all the trimmings $6000
Brakes front and rear $3000. Beater 69 for $6000. Cage it, sub frame connectors, replace floors and you are all over $25,000. This is before body work, panel replacement, etc just a roller

Granted that I live in NASCAR country, but I could have a roller built without the cage, to my track width, wheel base. Full floater on the rear with a 3 link. Normal NASCAR style front...for about $8000 minus brakes.

No need for a body. Just drop Dynacorn or whomevers sheet metal over the roller and start hanging panels and building a cage. Depending on how hard core you are, seems like a way to go.

So I pose this question...is this the next step in pro-touring?
