I agree with your road racer friend.  Spend the same money and time on a
cheap, older car and build a __race__ car which will be competitive over
the long haul (or just buy a competitive car someone else has already
built) and you will be way ahead of the game.
IMHO, stock classes work well for those who need to race their daily
drivers.  I have yet to see the attraction stock classes hold for
accomplished, committed racers...
