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

If they weren't, I'd have one LOL It seems $15k-$20k gets you a nice, unmolested C5Z I've been on the fence about this too. I know the C5Z will be much more capable mod for mod. But each mod will be more money than a 4th Gen. And I'm like to OP, just want a fun reliable car to rip around in. No serious racing goals...yet. So my latest brilliant idea is to go ape shit on my 95 Z28 (built motor w/ E85 and every suspension part I can, fairly gutted interior and some aero) and drop money on a newer 4 door 4x4 diesel truck. Gives my wife and I room to grow in terms of me getting an enclosed car trailer and her a bigger horse trailer. Truck would be my DD. This post has been edited by Smitty2919: May 5 2017, 02:41 PM |
