GTA all the way, but then I AM biased.
160 mph top end at Road Atlanta, 1:32 lap times, $600 for a set of tires, run pump gas if you get an LS-1 engine, the economies of scale from running short track components (and Port City South is 30 minutes from Road Atlanta if they don't have what you need at Lanier), 50 hours out of a 500 hp engine and $1500 when you finally freshen it just because you feel bad. And when you do bend it up (not that such a thing would ever happen to you since you're so good!) it's less than $2000 to replace the entire left side and nose of the car, new LF suspension and paint the pig (ask me how I know about that).
Averaging 7 cars per SARRC race so far in 2008, 20 cars to race with at Daytona (at 175 on the banking) and nine currently signed up for Barber this weekend. We expecting 30+ GTA cars at this year's ARRC by GRM, so you'll always have somebody to race with. The only reason Ben came back to IT (on a part-time basis) is because the GTA numbers aren't there yet in NEDIV, but the class is growing because it's the biggest bang for the buck out there.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...
