You should see all the work that is done to a Ferrari F430 in order to participate in the Ferrari challenge. If you want to go fast and you want the car to handle it is going to cost. Racing = chassis modifications.
True. But the road going GT3 or the Elise for that matter dont have oil starvation issues. You dont need to weld them. You can slap on slicks and not worry that problems will occur.

No one is arguing that ALMS racers are worked on from the ground up.

But 10 hours labor to install an oil seperator doesnt make the Cayman particularly track friendly. It's a relative thing.
