I'll easily go through $15k in one year on the vette. Like I said, easily $400/hr run time. Hopefully the frs isn't a consumable, so I'll still have it after a season, whereas the tires are trash.

There's more to it than that though. The Vette is a monster and expensive one at that. It's a lot scarier to drive at the limit because it has so much more power, grip and price tag. 465hp doesn't sound like much because we're so numb to +600hp cars and electronic aids make it so easy to drive on the street. When you get on the track and are driving without aids, it's a lot. I love it, but it's not a good car for developing skill or driving 20x a year for my skill or budget.

It's "just" a grand sport" but it's a monster.
