Any modern Nascar stocker is as far from being a Real car as any kit car could ever be. Purpose built with no real factory parts on them. Now a Pre 1985 or so Stocker may have started as a "REAL" car and was converted to a race car. They are track only cars and are not intended for the street. Yes they are fun on the track but I only get to a track a couple of times per year so how fun can it be? Kind of like Christmas and Birthdays, fun but only two times per year.

I can enjoy my cobra any time I want(seather permitting) and take my wife for a ride if she wants to.

Now if I had 60K to spend for a toy I get to use less times per year than I get to enjoy wraping gifts then I might buy one.

For 60K I built a Cobra and bought my wife a 2002 Z3 and still have at least 12K left. That will buy me a lot of pride when my Toy car gets passed on the track by a "STOCK" car. While he is loading his car I will be on my way to the Dairy Queen for an Ice Cream in my toy race car.

Besides I bet you could build a nice version of a Early 80's or older stocker for far less than 60k. It might not have 700hp but 600hp is pretty cheep.

Harley's are nice but if all you have is enough for a Honda at least you are riding.
