What is your utlimate track day car

DD means different things to different people.
I DDed my DSM to the tune of about 15K miles/Yr. This was in PHX, driving home in 110 heat at 3:00 in the afternoon. No AC. No radio. No PS (swapped in a manual rack). No Cruise. Almost no interior. Poly mounts/bushings for everything. Removed balance shafts. 6 puck clutch, 11lb flywheel. How hard/NVH-y is a C7R going to be?
Seriously considering getting a Legends car (probably the Ford Sedan model) registered as a kit car and making it my fun vehicle. 1300Lbs, 125 HP, IIRC the redline is like 12K, parts are cheap, and its built pretty solid. Priced from 5Kish to 12K for a really nice one. Yum. Its like a redneck SR3

I'm serious, someone else is writing the check for my ultimate track car with the only stipulation that it be driven on the street once in a while? I'm choosing an unobtainium race car with A/C that will juuuust make it into my driveway.

My pops has a 996 air cooled Porsche he bought from a track instructor in Oregon with about 40k in track mods. Sure the 90 degree steering rack makes it twitchy but it isn't too bad to drive around town in. 1st gear literally has no slip(modulation) so you leave every stop light like as *******. Not many cars sound sweeter than a flat 6 Porsche exhaust note with no cat/resonator. You can't help but giggle every time you floor it.

I short shifted too much, made a few line errors. Dropped the lap record for students by about 2s though
