Would you rather teach someone to drive on the track in a well-prepped Miata, or a freaking ZL-1 where its a right foot twitch away from potential doom? I don't care what wizz-bang techno options are available personally lol.

I'm hoping to get to your neck of the woods next summer/fall and will have to find a track to play on. Looks like the Sandhills Open Road Challenge is the beginning of Aug. Would like to plan a vaca around it.

I would have Done a Pro Touring Job on the 69.. You cannot believe what happens when you modify the suspension and brakes on these old cars...They become insane on the track.. Value wise, it is about the same if you leave the number's matching driveline in them..Everything else can be changed back to stock by a purist who buys it... But to me ,comparing the ZL-1 to a 370z is apples to oranges.. My Wife had to have the 370Z , and it is a very sweet car... If she wanted a Camaro, you bet I would have gotten a ZL-1..No SS for me.. But In my house the 370Z will stay stock.. my wife will not have me tracking her "baby".. But again, the 370Z is a sweet car..

I've done some soloracing. The classes start off slow and build your driving ability. They are run expecting that people will come back and develop your skill. I'm sure it will take me two years atleast until I will going out on the track solo and running at the cars top speeds for the track.

Funny how if you buy a ZR-1 , they include a driving school in the purchase price, from what i have heard.
They should throw a class in when you buy the ZL-1... But an HPDE class would be cool...

ZL-1 to 370 is definitely Apples to Oranges. If you already have a great track car, who cares about tracking the 370Z? lol

That's a skill that can't be taught.

I know what you mean about finances in the service 6 years in the Marines and only an E4. Long story but I couldn't get promoted in my MOS.
