I completely agree with you. 100%. But my personal interest in sports cars has really changed. I used to love the idea of owning one for the pleasure of driving on public roads, but that has faded as you're never reall my able to enjoy them properly, and if you are you're going too fast. So now I really like going to the track but I don't have space for a trailer etc, so I need the best compromise for a track weapon which is tolerable on road. To that end, it's just the mechanics of it which interest me now, and I can't think of a more interesting car available now in the $100k-$300k region than the upcoming Z06. Where else can you get a 5.5L or similar flat crank V8??.. its never been done before. This is a true descendant of the c8r race car so it could look like a Pontiac Aztec for all I care.
Maybe you should look into a Radical RXC.....

Also, Hypercar Invitational 3 is scheduled for may 8-9 at Laguna, and you can bid for charity laps with Randy Pobst in Crazy cars like a Porsche 962 or hypercars etc.. Martin's got the $$$$... bring it baby!!!

But seriously... you balance the sheer intrigue of the monster power and novelty of the c8 z06, with the sheer beauty and exceptional known quantity of this beauty's upcoming more powerful sibling... tough call.

I've listened to all the footage out there of the RS mules on the Nordschleife and none sound like they have the GT3 engine - and I'm taking note of the 992 GT3 mules in particular as that's the most relevant in terms of emissions/sound influencing stuff. The GT4 RS do sound like they rev a higher than the regular GT4 in similar shots.

Since I assume quite a few of us are cross-shopping $130k track-focused mid-engine cars....

Here are some excellent renders of the Z06.. a bit spaceship, a bit manga... but if the performance and engine are an improvement on the base car... so compelling as the track slayer to beat them all.

Anyway, just because the GT4 RS running around the ring sounds nothing like a GT3 doesn’t necessarily mean it does ( or does not) have a GT3 engine.
