Well, as YOU know, there is always going to be a difference between a full on race car and one that is produced on a production line where cost is a factor.
I will admit that the, as produced, SLC is much closer to a full on race car than the GTM, but there are still some things that can be upgraded IMHO. Like the GTM, for the price, the SLC is an amazing supercar that can compete with production cars that are 3-4 times as expensive.
However, when it comes to the last 1/10th of performance, there are things that will make a race version SLC, an SLCR if you will, faster than the regular SLC. As is the case with any race car, the combinations of parts that will make the SLCR faster will be made by the racer himself in his quest for speed. In other words, you could build a no expense barred, all out top of the line SLCR, and one of the teams that buys it will definitely still change some things to THEIR liking, whether it makes it go faster or not.
That, as you know, is what makes racing what it is. One person thinking his way is better than others.......and then proving it, or not.
