What is your utlimate track day car
I asked this question to a group of Miata buddies at World Of Beer,"If money was no object and you could buy any track day car in the world what would it be, but it HAS to be your daily driver?"

You guys missed the bold part about it also having to be a daily driver. I'm going to go with E34 5 series wagon with an LSx swap. The LS swap get the correct amount of power and gets rid of the only unreliable parts on the car. If I'm allowed to have a second vehicle to haul larger things, C5Z vette.

ACTUALLY, i would buy the kit that allows you to enclose the cabin... even adds doors. I love those cars

I'm surprised no one's said Miata yet. As comfortable of a daily driver as any of the cars we've mentioned here, and 99% of people trying one for the first time on track say they're more fun that what they brought.
If not a Miata, I'd have to be careful with the powerful cars. By the time you're having fun you can easily be 3x the speed limit.
I did drive my friend's C6 and the low end torque is addicting. I'd be doing lots of 0-speed limit drag races. Very fun and seems comfortable enough for a daily. Huge car though. Wouldn't want to live anywhere near something resembling a city.

I would daily the **** out of a C7R in order to be able to track it. Anything I would have interest taking to the track would have to be more fun than the 95R or the C6Z.
Anyway, I like the 918 more than the P1
