Shit happens.
I hear ya'. Drag racing is MUCH cheaper than road racing. I guess it all depends on what your intention of the car is. Me, for example, could see myself at VIR some day with lowered suspension with all the applicable sub frame connectors and braces, Wilwood brakes, cams, exhaust etc. I'd do it over a course of time and I would still frequent the drag strip. Just because a car can stop and go around a corner, doesn't mean it can't be fast in a straight line either. Look at Cobra4B for example.
Of course, this all boils down to ones opinions and its neither right or wrong. I was just giving ya' shit anyways.

ZR1s + your car = damn near sex
another good reason why skinny and wide tires would look dumb in my opinion.
