TS -

I don't think there is anything in your post to flame as I think your observations are correct.

I just don't think that you can have your cake and eat it too. The only car that comes to mind is the Shelby spec racer - I think it is the CSX4000R Series (?). Aesthetics should be as good as it gets with those but the cost is a little higher.

You may also want to consider why you are out there....it seems to me that the open track events are more for having fun and being able to drive to your limits without having to go crazy trying to get that last hundredth of a second! (It is those last time increments that cost all the money and can kill all the fun - to some people).

Unless you are driving a new Trans Am Mustang or something you will probably always encounter faster cars - so what.
