    Great article. I’m sure you have options. But, you should check out The Racers Group. They specialize in these cars, offer track support for cup cars, and are very active in aftermarket parts for their customer street cars.

    What an insane car! I never seen one like this. I love the red detailing. It really makes it pop. $200,000 for a car is a lot though. I don’t think I would ever spend more than $80,000 on a car. The one I have now was about that new. Seems like spending over $100,000 is just showing off :p
