C6-Z06 vs Nissan GT-R vs Shelby Super-Snake vs any other suggestion
Chances are they would be in black. |

For the amt of money you're talking (about $90k is what a guy here in LA just paid for his GT-R), I think I'd try a different tack. How's this sound?
$40k - Buy the track car of your choice; I'd recommend a T1 or GT Vette or similar, just for ease of maintenance and because you're used to at least some of the parts $20k - Buy a good, used, tow vehicle. Yeah, they're not flashy, but you can't beat a good 2002-ish diesel dually for towing. $10k - Buy a nice enclosed trailer $10k - Race budget (gas, tires, hotels, beer, etc.) But, if you want to spend that much on just 1 street-legal car that can be taken to the track, you've got a lot of options. I doubt that you'll ever be happy with a "stock" car, so you'll be modifying it. I'd recommend buying one that's already modified like you want and sticking with that. Something like a used, s'charged C6-Z06 is what I'm thinking. |

I always want to have Z06 vette. 2010 Camaro SS? Once you have newer car, you have to be careful driving under any conditions. |
