[QUOTE="SCGallo2, post: 15500429, member: 160791"] For a road course car, stock 662hp/631tq is more than enough to get you around the track quicker than most cars that will be on the track with you. Other track oriented cars will be lighter, brake quicker, and turn better than your car, but you will "crush" them in the straights and have no problems passing. In standard 20 minute sessions, you will generate a lot of heat in the engine and brakes. You are on the right track with an upgraded heat exchanger and 170* thermostat, and I would replace your brake fluid with good high temp fluid prior to the event. Smooth is fast, and there is nothing smooth about an overdrive pulley and massive throttle body. Save those mods for street/strip action later. After your first track weekend driving your car, you will see that the weaknesses lie in the suspension and lack of tire grip. A weekend at VIR was the most fun I ever had in my car. Good luck!
