[QUOTE="NGO, post: 16690595, member: 125155"] I must say even with the poor balance on these cars, you are right, you can compete with some pretty expensive sport cars in HPDE 3/4. I have very basic chassis mods and like you said, decent tires and track pads work fine for competiveness. I do have some engine and IAT2 temp concerns when tracking with air temps above 65F. All part of overspinning a factory blower. I can get about 3 laps in on a 25 minute session at Sebring then I have to have a cool down lap - then can go back at it for a lap, then repeat. I know the fix is a better heat extaction hood. And blower :) $ As far as the debate whether to track a 59,000 mile car that is 8/10, ehhh - its made to blast around every once in awile. Been busy running ChampCar so my attention has not had to turn to her for a thrill :) Plus, I probably hurt the value when I had it repainted due to bad paint chipping and clear coat peel so maybe tracking it a few times a year doesnt't matter. And yes, I take very good care of her, fluids, pads, rotors changed more than recommended - car detailed often. And I use Trak Tape to protect the paint when tracking. [/QUOTE]
