he's still ticked off about the sheer numbers that were built and killed any chance of these being worth anything in our lifetime. 

Not sure what you mean. 20+k is  up to 3 times what a decent 4.6 GT could cost. If doubling the horsepower triples the value then my turbo caravan with triple its original power is now worth..

.....$2741!!!

Sometimes, things happen. 

Case in point, you have a race car.  Its a good race car  Its a fun race car.  You enjoy this race car.  Then, race car goes silent *I would say boom, but its more fitting*. 

Being that I was helping to please the wife, this also helped allow this car be a little more capable.  So, since TX Tour is this weekend GT500 gets pressed into action.  Backup plan was CAM-C, but when I arrived at buddies to swap tires so they wore better he started a plan.  I say he, since he is running a RX7 in XP and was trying to hit numbers.  I made the comment that if I had race tires, I would have no issues.

Some used 315's and 345's later, the car will sit on some Purple Crack.  I also like that these are 100 total mm wider than what the AS Z06 ran on.

Well, if I wouldnt have hit cones on day 1, I would have a free hoosier coming my way.  I tried to get the times down on Day 2, but was .4 off of doing it.  Such is life.

I do think the car was the heaviest at the event.  3839# Day one, 3815# Day 2.  It burns a gallon of fuel every 2 runs.

Also, the exhaust is too quiet.  I was told I was on the rev limiter *not sure if from spinning tires or what?  2nd tops out at 80mph* and I never heard it.
