Default Re: Why race your supercar

I Couldn't agree more.No sense in owning a 3500 pound paperweight.But I do understand what Tom B. and Tom C.are saying.
I enjoy the restoration process more,when I get out and feel the actual car driving down the road,Accelerating and Cornering.
It's like telling somebody they are loving their wife and kids wrong.We all enjoy these cars in our own Way. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

I don't think there is a right or wrong in this topic, it is just an opinion on why you should or should not race a supercar. I was pretty lucky, I guess like a few others were, to have been around when these cars first came out and raced every chance I got, maybe I might just appreciate the cars a little more because of this ,don't know. But since they are kind of special today I kind of wince when I see them raced on a regular basis hard with the original powertrain.
Everyone can either show their cars , nudge them now and again or race them till they can't run anymore that's o.k. because they are your cars , but for us older sentimental guys watch the 6500 rpm power shifts. IMO [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]
