It is hardcore and I accept that is a car that you either get it or you don't.
To a lot of folk it is just an exhorbitantly priced Camaro with a poor level of equipment who ask the question "why did you blow $70k on that when you could have had a ZL1....Z06....Hellcat.....M3 etc etc for a similar price or less?"
For me the answer is simple in that I had no interest in any of the aforementioned excellent cars as I wanted something hardcore that I could track but use daily as well and the Z/28 is an absolute bargain compared to a new GTR or 911 GT3.

There are poser cars and cars for true enthusiasts (purists). Let the posers get poser cars and true enthusiasts get true enthusiast's cars.
