[QUOTE="Gray Ghost GT, post: 10324239, member: 108918"] I actually see quite a few CTS-Vs at VIR - they look like they're having a great time on the road course! Lots of power but heavy, which means upgrades to the braking system, e.g., stainless steel brake lines, cooling ducts (if not already installed), better pads (Hawk DTC 70/60 or Carbotech XP 16/10) and ATE Super Blue or Gold DOT 4 or Motul RBF 600 brake fluid. You probably belong to the CTS-V forums. I would check into an oil cooler, a harness bar and a 6-point racing harness. Otherwise, that's it - have fun. Simple and naturally aspirated is the way to go with a dedicated track car. Friends of mine near Road Atlanta do endurance and time trial racing with a S2000, so it must be a reliable car - sounds like a good candidate. You can pickup a good used 2002 to 2004 C5 Z06 for relatively "cheap" and they're simple to repair and upgrade. Heck, its only a GM... take a look at them while checking out the S2000 - you may find its worth the extra few bucks to get the C5 Z06 and call it a day and have FUN. [/QUOTE]
