would it be wrong to sell my Z and get a Viper race car?

I might get flamed here but the road feel in a 911 is pretty amazing. A used say 2003-04 996 TT (AWD) is obtainable for ~40-60 depending on mods/miles and a 996 GT3 (RWD) which would be better is ~+50k minimum. No one has mentioned the P-car, but not really a bad track deal out of the box and the stock turbo is bloody quick.

Yes they are quick cars but as track cars they are very expensive to maintain and prep. You need to have deep pockets to run one of these cars on track.

Look at Mike's stable...I don't think he would give a damn considering what his wife is driving.

Her car has zero maintenance costs and is totally unmodded. Keeping it totally stock and letting BMW take care of it, and it will be replaced when the warranty is up
