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

OP if you are not out to win any races and want cheap fun and like to tinker, maybe the Camaro (but would keep it street legal...or make i street legal if it's not already).

If this is strictly a nice weather/track toy...I'd lean C5Z with shocks/springs/swaybars and tires.
