Again.. no they are NOT USED as race cars. But if they are meant to replicate a 60's model "race car," then what are they in your eyes? 600hp isn't really needed ANYHWERE in these cars. It's just part of the hobby! Kind of like seeing a 32 roadster street rod with a huge blower on it!
Useless but part of the fun!
These cars are no less of a race car than say... a pro street car. While it may be street legal.... it's really not built for your daily comfortable commute. Am I wrong?
