Would like some input. Trying to decide whether my money is better spent on a basically race ready 4th gen LS car or for the same money...$12k...or a super high mileage c5 z06. I'm not racing or time trialing. I want a fun low maintenance track car to do HPDE weekends. Which would be more fun in, which might be faster. My closest track is the world reknown VIR. I have lots of seat time on that track, full course. Street driving is no concern of mine, I trailer my cars. Any input would be appreciated ! Thanks

The Z06 will be the faster track car. But HDPE is "practice" and you can't win practice. Meaning, you don't have to have the fastest car there, you have to have a reliable car that works and doesn't break. Maintenance is likely cheaper and easier on the Camaro, but the Z06 is the more capable track rat. So...what are your goals?
