The 1000whp GTO I mentioned on the first page is run under all conditions. Stop and go traffic, autox, open track road racing.
Ive driven all different types of cars and power levels but there is nothing quite like running around with a car that drives like a stock and then turning up the boost when a Hyabusa is next to you on the freeway and putting the smack down. I highly doubt you will regret a TT LS combo unless you competively road race all the time.

That's pretty much exactly what I was thinking, and someone finally understood my specific goal. It's not going to be a competitive road racer/autocrosser all the time. A little roll racing, a little auto cross, and lots of cruising. Thanks for simply trying to understand and not just pouring cold water on my efforts
