The ACR and GT350r are about as close to track cars as you can buy under $140K. I think he meant the Ford GT though, not the 350r. Even the new Camaro ZL1 1LE is a pretty hot track car. Me, I’m going to have to live with my 240sx Lemons car. This way when it gets wrecked on the track, it’s only $5K to replace it.

Dodge Viper ACR smokes the GT350r (65k often with 40k markup, not sure where you see 500k) and Z06 road cars. None of them are track cars. 918 is faster than the ACR on the track by a good 5 seconds. HPDE insurance isn't crazy expensive - a single day is $300 and if you bundle a handful of events it drops pretty steeply.

You have to buy specialized insurance, which I'm sure would be crazy expensive. It would be more economical to buy the new Ford GT350R ($500k) or the new Corvette Z06 ($120k)... mainly because they are the two fastest track cars available right now... even beating the Porsche 918 ($1 million).

But, considering the specs on this car, it is cheap compared to other "super cars" with relatively similar (not much out there that can boast these specs) performance specifications. I've never been a big Tesla car fan as I don't think the company would have been successful on its own, but that is the car industry these days.
