I sure enjoyed the 7 I had. And got more compliments on the cars from unusual sources, especially the last one, a torch red coupe.

Race cars are much different. Louder, less comfortable, faster and handle much better. No power accessories for anything or an interior. You will get sore from the G's going through the corners. I love my Vette and think it's an awsome car, but it will never be like a race car unless I strip it down to almost nothing and do all the necessary modifications to make it like a race car.

I just added the Vitesse Throttle controller and it changed the dynamic of the throttle response. So much quicker response from the gas pedal and any previous lag is gone. I just set it at 6 for now. It must be super sensitive at setting 9.

So completely strip it down one seat nothing else, pump up the tire pressure, turn off the nannies and instant race car in my book. I agree with the OP, but I like a few creature comforts. AC is a must have down here.

C6 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
If you'd have ever driven a race car you wouldn't say that your Corvette is like one because it's nowhere close. Race Cars have distemper and are much harder to drive. Louder, vibration just nothing like a street car.

OP stated "feels" like versus "is" like...and if that's what it "feels" like to him...then it is what it is...

My C6 feels like a GT muscle car. Gobs of low-end torque, comfortable ride, good road manners. Nothing like a race car.
My Porsche is high-revving, twitchy steering, kidney-punch ride, tracks like a go-kart. But even it feels nothing like a race car.
Nothing does unless it's purpose built or radically modded.

I agree that the vette feels so much stronger than the mustangs, camaros, and mopars out there. Race car no. Sports car yes. Some may be faster, but are still just family cars with big motors. No comparison.

Still, I got a few mods I'm craving to do!
