I agree with your argument. But in my opinion it's a moot point.

Cars are like tools. How?, use the right one for the job. If you want to road race buy the car built for it. If you want more take that car and add to it (as you suggest). For those that can't see the Z/28 IS the better platform for road racing...Oh well you can lead a horse to water...
