If I was going to have a sedan based track car, my dream car is a purpose built racecar - a cup car. The GT2 RS is the ultimate cars and coffee car but I'll take the monoball suspension, naturally aspirated motor, and proper sequential gearbox in a real racecar anyday for the track.

And if we are going down that road, my "ultimate" track car would have to be something sports racer or open wheel based - the speed per dollars, and more importantly, the visceral sensation of an open wheel car is incredibly hard to beat, no matter how unlimited one's wallet (not a problem I have).

Buy that and you'd better be fast. No one wants to be the guy at the track with the fastest car, getting passed by spec Miatas...

Price nuts. Too much power to really enjoy- Even on track- I'd pass - I don't like the Red trim anyway

No, wouldn't want to be "that guy".
I am no where near good enough to handle a car like that anyway. Still be my dream track car though.
I'm sure it'd be real dangerous in the right hands.
I'm happy with my Cayman on the track...…for now.

For that money it’s like a Radical and race budget no?
