What's the different? 300hp? 400? 500?

The truth of the matter is, the chase gets expensive, and if you really want to play, you will pay. The Z06 was an absolute blast, fast as any street car should be, but if I blew the motor screwing around, it was gonna cost me @ $10-$14K for a new LS7. That little piece of information really kept me from romping on it much (as well as the lack of LE attention I desired).

I never tracked the cars much, so I rarely ever used them to their potential. Sure, it put a big freaking smile on my face every time I hit the start button, but in the end, I decided to go with a "simpler" sports car, with enough power for the road.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you have $$$ to burn, go S/C or TT, but understand that you will, in reality, rarely ever use it's potential unless you track it, and that, in and of itself, is gonna raise your costs substantially. Not trying to be Debbie Downer, just sharing a couple of decades of experience....

Enjoy!
I dont consider other cars in this range, I like the Z because of the appearance, I don't care how much power she came from stock, what I care is how much power she can generate after tuned. Of course, I have no idea of the GTM quality, I dont want to kill the Z with more than $20k. As long as it's safe, I think people always willing to spend 20k, even more.
