That and you can damn near build a whole car from aftermarket parts.

As I did, the only ford parts left is the original chassis, 95 cobra brakes, m179 cobra rims, engine block, wiring harness and the interior plastic parts. Everything else has been changed to aftermarket parts, probably have 20k if not more into the chassis before motor, obviously you don't need to go that extreme to get a nice handling driver but I wanted to build a car that could out perform a c6z

You don't need to do anything to a Mustang to take a C6Z on a road course. Have you ever been on a road course with one? The owners drive like grandmas in the corners and then floor it in the straights. I pretty sure I could take one in my Suburban.
The last time I ran the Cobra at CSW there were three C6Zs in my run group and I laped all three. One of them took me two laps to pass though because he wouldn't point for me to pass (we were allowed to pass without a point by). I just stayed on his bumper and on the second lap he finally did.

It is cheaper to be the better driver.

I agree, but its also cheaper to replace the shitty parts on a car with good aftermarket replacements.
