C6-Z06 vs Nissan GT-R vs Shelby Super-Snake vs any other suggestion

Chances are they would be in black.

You're right, Eugenio - it's cheaper and easier to buy a race car already built. I built my own, and it's the last time I'll do that. If/When I ever look for another one, I'll look to find something that was fast, but not podium (drives up price). Also, something that's had between 2 and 5 races on it since any major work (engine, tranny, etc). That way it's still fresh, but proven.

BTW, I drive a G8GT as a daily driver.

That's very interesting about the GTR on slicks - I was really wondering how a 3800lbs, 4-door car with similar power was running the 'Ring at faster times than a Z06.

And I've found just the opposite.

It's a lot cheaper to build it than to rebuild it. Buying a used race car is buying someone else's "engineering". We've worked on a few of those "fresh and sorted" cars and they were absolute POS. The standing around scratching your head trying to figure out what the builder was thinking and when a gremlin arises, tracking down the issue in an unfamiliar build are just 2 examples of what I'm talking about.

Granted, it gets you on the track faster but you'll spend 1/2 -2/3 the purchase price making it faster on the track.

my experience.
