whats the fun in that?! Dont get me wrong they are badass cars and id like to have a new Z06. But how many new corvettes do you see on the road everyday and how many badass pro touring rides do you see on the road everyday? And its way more fun to drive a car you built yourself that is capable of running with or beating a new Z06.

Not my point. Your exact view is what led me down this rode when I built my car. Not many cars around here are capable of taking out a Z06. Maybe none....

If I were serious about competing---this seems like the slam dunk thing to do. I wouldn't enjoy driving it as much as the Camaro though---not by a long shot. There is just something about taking these cars around the track, auto X, whatever--that is such a blast. On top of that, we get to drive them to events, around town, road trips, etc----you just can't beat that. My opinion only of course.
