Nope. Those things aren't cheap and they aren't necessarily that fast. I have seen quite a few of them. They are hard to keep up with at buttonwillow, but slow at willow, PIR, autoclub.......... They are certainly cheaper to run than a corvette or a LFA.

So is your basic point simply that the Vette platform is the best over all value for cost vs. performance across a range of track settings? That is to be competitive (i.e., run at or near the front) in typical middle class / working man track outings, etc.?

My original point was that the LFA was hyped up to be a world beater. It's release date keeped getting pushed and pushed and pushed. What I remember when it was finally released it was marginally faster than a GTR, but with a $375k price. I distinctly remember thinking that it was a huge engineering failure because of the performanc / $ ratio.

I was talking about your selection of a Vette.
