I've been struggling with the thought that I want a 3rd gen F-body to race/drive (ok, "drive" justifies buying it to race). I am currently driving a 2002 Z28 with a reasonably sorted suspension. Actually, the 2002 is reasonably quick and handles great, it's lots of fun to drive. But, I can't decide if I should keep the 2002 and the current setup or sell everything off, return it to stock and invest my "suspension money" in a nice, non- t-top 3rd gen to play with (something I can afford to wreck). Since my 2002 has T-tops, I don't think I'll ever think of it as a serious track car (even after it's paid off), so I am really thinking of a 3rd gen and starting over. I guess the question is "Keep the rocketship street car, or buy/build a true track car?"

Am I nuts or is this "the way"? Can anyone offer the proper guidance.....

I am also selling my '02 SS for a dedicated track car. Although I'm looking for an LT1.

I hate to see it go as I get compliments almost daily. It's a good car, gets decent gas mileage, and works as a great daily driver. But car needs have changed. And open tracking my daily driver was a little unnerving at times.
