R they really that Fast?

I have owned my 71 camaro since 1985 while keeping track of all part purchases. Until the current ls3 install I have done all labor myself. Since I am in no hurry I have been able to research the hell out of options using multiple forums as well as a number of knowledgeable people to try to make better choices. I am at 55k and still need body/paint, interior, better trans, and eventually a better rear. This machine is a lifelong project and will take me another 10 years to get to 99% complete. I will enjoy autox and track day events, plus a lot of highway miles. 100k is in my future, and that is with effort applied towards finding deals! Will I be able to complete with the big dogs? Probably not too well, but I do believe that if an excellent driver was behind the wheel the results would be respectable. For me this is an important investment in my overall life happiness! Now let's get back to the driving!!!
