I get 12 MPG all city driving. I drive the car like it should be driven every time I get in it. If I drove like a normal person I would probably get 14mpg city. 600rwhp

As long as the track is close that is great. If u break something a trailer is nice to get home if the track is a long drive away. No way in HELL would I leave my CAMARO somewhere to the next day!

It really depends on whether or not you can afford the upkeep on a 10 second car.
