As title says.
Looking for a new toy. Any choice would be in Manual Transmission only (don't want pdk/auto)

Thinking:

• Camaro ZL1 1LE
• Corvette Z06 (Z07 pkg)
• 911 GT3 (pccb pkg)

What's your opinion ?

Use: mainly track, a bit of street (not thinking on getting trailer)

Don't get a McLaren. A guy in Texas has one and it breaks all the time. He has his own parking spot at multiple dealerships for his RV while he is waiting on them to fix it.

That wouldn't happen to be a McLaren that runs in the One Lap Of America? If it is, it broke again prior to the race and was not able to be fixed prior to the race. There fix was to purchase a New GTR 1 day before the event!!! Talking with the owners wife she stated the McLaren breaks every-time they take it out and it has the most repairs of any McLaren in the US totaling $90k!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Andy and Ann Hollis' McLaren. The McLaren they bought to track and run the One Lap with that was actually _slower_ than their Honda that it was supposed to replace. They bought it to track, since they live really close to COTA. I think it has more 'laps' from COTA to the McLaren Dealership on a flatbed than on the racetrack itself!!

I thought it funny that they thrashed on the McL to get it ready for this year's One Lap, only to have it break, into limp mode, when testing the latest repairs. They went to the Ni$$an dealership, located a bright red GTR, and drove it to the hotel for check-in for the event. They put the required stickers on the car in the parking lot of the hotel.

Andy says it's obvious that the GTR weighs more, but the thing handles quite well. You can get on the power a lot earlier than you think you can coming off the corners. Others wax poetic about how 'magical' the diffs are when driving the car in anger.

Gene Yeah sounds about right!!! That its going to be Ann daily driver!!! I normally keep this group in the loop. But I did compete in this Yr One Lap!! Race registration was Fri. Someone posted in need of a co-driver 1 Pm on Weds. 20 Min later I had a ride!!!! We started the wk in a Pontiac G8 and finished the week in a 800 mile 16 Chevy SS.
