Elliot Ness, I understand that. My LS is a project car that I mess around on just not to degree of that LS-R. I dont intend to nor do i ever intend to race it. That man did intend to. And while yes it is a fully functional race car, I dont consider it a race car unless it actually races. I consider Quik's LS a fully functional race car. A lot of hard work went into that LS-R I can obviously see that but for what reason? To show it at SEMA? As far as im concerned it is a SHOW car since all hes done is show it and not race it. Same for any other car. I considered the Acura American Le Mans cars only pieces of engineering and showmanship until they were actually raced this year. That car is also missing other pieces of equipment needed to race in any Grand Am Series. I don't care if someone sends their Viper to Hennessey and puts 1000HP in it, unless they race it, its a show car to me.
As far as dryer tubes go....I dont feel the need to upgrade the hell out of LS and I'm willing to make the best of what I have since we are limited as a whole. And especially with gas prices every little bit helps. I'm by no means a penny pincher but I'm willing squeeze every little ounce for my buck out a car.
I also take my V to tracks like Summit Point and Watkins Glen and participate in the BMW CCA. I dont by any means consider it a race car but it's more than capable of handling the track without all of the stuff put into that LS-R. The safety equipment like roll bars and such I can appreciate and the body styling is amazing on it. And if they put a manual transmission in it then thats even more amazing. But if your going to race grand am you better spend the same if not more on your engine than you do on fancy graphics and body styling.
Too each his own.....
