Probably not, I want a dedicated Track Toy-GT3 type. So say I make $250K+, I could see myself getting a Z28 actually.

Another good point. Those numbers work for owning the S as a street car. As a track toy, you need to be able to walk away from a total loss without getting your feelings hurt. That's a much higher number than what it would take to just own it and drive it.
A guy who makes $1mm/year is hurting if he balls up a $180k car. That was 20-25% of his pre-tax income that year. That same guy is a lot better off walking away from a wadded up $75k car.
That's why my track car is worth $5k, tops. That's about what I'm willing to wreck and walk away from.
