What are your thoughts about buying a used race car?

Would the heavy use and wear and tear put you off or you be attracted to the fact it is hand assembled, highly tuned and perfectly setup and tweaked to perfection.
 
From experience be it any form of motorsport, see the car in action. Arrange the deal trackside, see it competing and close the deal there and take it away from the track. Known a few who have bought a car only to find parts been swapped out and spec not as originally advertised. But yea, would buy one from the right source in the right environment.
 
I have a friend who sold his track Porsche 911 and a few weeks later the new owner called and asked what he had taken off or changed before the sale as the new owner said that he must have done something as the car wouldn't do the lap times it had done prior to the sale so they arranged to meet at the track where my friend matched his times done prior to selling and handed the keys back and suggested he get some training from someone who knew how to drive a Porsche.
