You have to watch out who you call out on this post.. there are several of us here who have had the privelage of having these cars out on the street AND track - both the GT's and their competitors.

The GT loves the race track - they are very well behaved - especially when they are wearing Hoosiers .

That is all well and good, however, how many rich old men do you really see out at track days in their $160K car? Can't be nearly as acquainted with the racetrack as a Corvette in it's 50-something years on the planet. I'm not really arguing how good a car the GT is, that seems to be established already, just that the Corvette has always been a VERY respectable car at the track, and to down it as insignificant is retarded. The fact that it approaches the performance levels of a domestic exotic like the GT is just saying what a bargain it is. Plus the aftermarket for the Corvette is far, FAR bigger and more inclusive thant the GTs. Besides, for 160K, you could make yourself a Z06, a Viper and some money left over to build an air-conditioned garage for the two to live in. What I'm saying is this: would you rather have an exotic,Z06, and storage facility, or just an exotic? The GT just isn't as cost efficient as far as perfomance goes...
