While I'm sure there will be some bias here, I'm sure many folks who are building or have built SL-Cs toiled with the same questions I have.
My toy car is a C5 Z06, and while fun and fast, it needs a serious upgrade commensurate with my stage in life and past cars. After driving every supercar I could afford (Gallardo, F430/458, Porsche GT3/turboS, etc), none really fit the bill or seemed worth the price now that they are actually attainable. So, I decided to research the possibilities available for a cool supercar into which I could put exactly what I wanted.
Having shopped for a cobra previously, my first stop was factory five and their GTM. Delving into the GTM world brought me to the SL-C thanks to zakari3030's youtube channel... needless to say I was hooked on the style and flexibility of the project.
This toy will be a weekend cruiser and admittedly a supremely overkilled solution to the "honey, we need such and such from the store" errand. The vette presently serves as said toy.
The million dollar question then, is from folks who have decided SL-C over GTM, what was the deciding factor? How is the car to drive and live with? I doubt it will see much track time, unless we count cars and coffee.
I assume I'd do an LS build, but that's putting the cart before the horse. Thanks in advance for experiences from the crowd.
