Your moms Corolla is loaded with crumple zones which take up precious volume and add weight to the car all to keep her brain from bouncing all over the place in her skull and organs from detaching themselves upon impact. All the gear connected to the pilots in serious race cars are meant to make up for the lack of crumple zones while keeping the weight down.

I have had my eye on the GTM Supercar and feel that it's almost to the point where I would buy one. They have enough years under their belts and enough track time for me to call them solid. I wouldn't mind using it as a daily driver either.
Yeah, this thread was right in both sides of the argument. And you clarified it by showing arguing wasn't necessary based on application specific usefulness.
