Why not a purpose built race car vs new car?
I had a new Trans Am that I would take to the local drag strip and beat on Fri. nights. Then, I thought, I shouldn't really be doing this with a new car. If I really want to get into racing build a purpose built car for it. Insurance - if I had wrecked my new T/A. Insurance wouldn't have covered it at the track. |

I have one of those too. The street car sees track days at things like Corvette gatherings when there is an HPDE, for example.

Put me in that same boat. I want to like it. I really do. Just... meh. I've never actually seen one that made me say "I want to buy that".
Before I get accused of not "driving in anger", I have a hell of a lot of laps to my name in many different cars, from pure street cars to track prepped cars, to purpose built non production race cars. I don't care how fast it is, driving a street car "in anger" does absolutely nothing at all for me and never has (nor does driving around in an HPDE setting in general). Take the competition and wheel to wheel aspect out of racing and after about 3 laps... I'm just bored. I'd rather go drive a kart, Legends car, ... Spec Miata, anything in ACTUAL anger. |

"I'd rather drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow." I did TT for a year-it was fun, but to expensive for my blood. |
