Ran against a kid (20's) this weekend that had a 2006 Race prepped Viper with some moderate aero and race tires. Ran 1:28 with only a few sessions under his belt at Road Atlanta. Watching his videos, with more knowledge of the track that's worth at least a couple of seconds. Car looked extremely composed and well set up.
My point is that if you set them up right you don't have to be scared of them, and you can get the newer ones with more hp, aero already on them and a warranty. Just slap on some tires, set that bad boy up, and go to work. The engines are stout, gear ratios aren't great, but easily changed. Fairly easy to make faster and tons of upside should you decide to go further. Speaking of which, you can get the Gen III for around 40-45k. I think the Gen IV with a set of Moton's would be an outstanding DE cup car.

Trackcar,
I would rather have a Z/28 prepared by Katech but to each their own.

One of the Eccentrics is showing up this year with an 09' Z06, Coilovers, light weight rims, R comp tires, Akro exhaust, and upgraded brakes.
Should be interesting....
10k in upgrades, car used was about 60k.....

When the "ring" time comes out...I hope you have a good cookbook for "Crow"...this thing is going to punish cars that cost 3x times more and you can fit granny and the kids while doing it.

More weight on the wheels than a GT3, so better traction, massive torque, massive power, massive wheels, massive tires, massive brakes, it is going to eat quite a few Aero Beetles.
