They're saying that as-is (with a 600+ mile range), the Roadster will be
around 4000lbs, compared to the GT's 3300 and the Z06's 3500. It's not
too hard to imagine a lower-range unit that is considerably lighter (the
batteries alone are supposed to be close to 1800lbs). Point taken on the
road car vs a track car, but that applies to all of these to some
extent. And yes, the price is pretty absurd, the Z06 is much more
reasonable.
If Tesla had a 300 mile range version that was track-tuned it would be
really hard to compete with I would think.

0-60 does not a track car make. Most of these cars we are talking
about can corner at about 1.1-1.2+gs. That’s a big advantage on a
race track. And they all weight a lot less than the Tesla will with
the entire car designed for 1 thing, lower lap times. If you want a
race car, it’s going to drive like crap on the street. If you want
a drag car, it’s going to drive like crap on a road track. If you
want a car that can do all 3, that’s a compromise car. The Tesla
roadster is built for the street first, road race cars will beat
it. Drag only cars like a Demon will beat it in ¼ mile when
prepped, they are already hitting sub 9’s. ____

But seriously, how many of us are going to spend $250K on a car. I
got hives thinking of spending $80K on a street Tesla. ____

How is a $500k gt more economical than a $250k Tesla? The Tesla is
going to blow the doors off of the GT and the Corvette. The Tesla
has a 0-60 of less than 2 seconds and a top end of 250mph.

Normal insurance won't cover any vehicle on a race track. 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).

Maybe I could buy one and rent it out for $1K/day. We do have a
very nice race track nearby. ____

The only problem is the Roadster won't be shipping until 2020 or
later... LOL

No doubt about that. 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. ____
