if you get into REALLY curvy tracks you can't even really go wrong with a cobra replica... I'm a fan of the ones with the BMW suspensions. In ANY race the most important things are the HP to weight ratios.

In a world where thundering Supercars routinely crest 3500 lbs, the track-tested and tuned 2350 lb. GTM is a refreshing return to sportscar fundamentals. Factory Five lightning strikes with a hp/wt ratio similar to that of a Daytona Prototype. With a stock LS7 powerplant, the car maintains a 4.8 lbs per hp ratio. Connected to the pavement via huge 335 series rear tires, it enjoys acceleration numbers better than almost any production vehicle on the road today.
The GTM is faster 0-60 mph than a Ferrari Enzo, a Porsche GT, a Saleen Twin Turbo S7, a Ford GT, and a Lamborghini Mucielago*! The GTM even beats out a Champ car to 60 mph! **

best of all? you can buy a whole new kit for like $20k so even if you seriously fuck it up you know repairs won't cost you more than that... Those specs are a STOCK LS7 (corvette engine) and of course they come to life fairly cheap. Obviously if you're looking at a cobra factory five is NOT the best... this GTM though rivals the saleen S7 you say you love so much...
