I don't either. I could do that to my '88 for less. CS value is completely gone as, if I recall correctly, the original 3.2 is long gone.

The way I look at it, it used to be a club sport. Now it's a track car that was built about 8-10 years ago! Don't get me wrong, it's probably a blast to drive! But! There is a beautiful 6gt3 for sale at this forum, Track/DE set up with a lot of nice stuff on it! For about 65k! Someone has put a lot of money into this CS but to find a buyer for it is not easy!

Were I in the market, I'd have no question about which car I prefer.

And it won't boil water...

With the exception of the brakes, every "A" class E car has had roughly the equivalent done to it (3.2 not 3.8 parts, but not a huge cost differential). Those are $35-40k cars max AND have a place to play.

It really isn't about what has been done to the car. It is whether or not there is a market for the car at the asking price.
