if you add a cage you can count this out of this car being your daily driver. Just do a ligher wheel combo with better tires, and upgrade brake pads, rotos, and work on your suspension.

later go for bigger power, and not until the very end, should you gut the car. You can shed weight by getting lighter seats, getting rid of the back seat and spare (on race days), and get yourself dry carbon doors, a new hood and trunk, to all save weight

Yeah, no. he screwed up his first tuned cars that he tried to time attack. He blew his customer's car (phillthy) due to rod knock and a bad tune, and sharif almost blew his own motor due to his bad tune for the track and he was barely able to compete that weekend.

Go to scott at RA for any mods/tune for the track. They've never had a problem with his TT Z or the TT BC sports G35 (both time attack cars).

Claiming to not have problems is a bunch of BS and you know it.

Any car that is modified to that extent will have problems. Choosing what to tell people and what not to disclose is the difference.

What is your goal, ultimately?

I second this question. Not to put down our car but there are MUCH better cars to be running at the track. As much as our cars are high performance, they weren't exactly made for this kind of stuff...
