ok, so this is not about w2w. all about track days / hpde.
I am at a stumbling point, participating in Porsche Club HPDE,
Black/Red Advanced Racer Group, I am getting passed by 2016 Cayman Gt4's, and 911 Gt3's., and newer cup cars.
Very comfortable in the groups, 50% pass/ 50% I pass.....

I am at the point of sliding the car, just to keep up, albeit controlled.

Have I reached the limit of a 4th gen?

The car is a 1998 Trans Am, built by Wheel to Wheel for competition in the 1998 Motorola Cup Series,
then Grand Am gt, then AIX,Ite..........

Should I Accept as is, or is there something to do (cost effectively) to be quasi-competitive..
(Remember, it is only HPDE/track days, not competition)

Specs are: 1998 Pontiac Trans Am, ls6 (little cam, 392 RWHP, full cage,, 3650 w/ driver, nascar front bar, one off adjustable rear bar,
heim jointed rear links (all)
heim /roto-jointed front upper and lower arms.
Auburn R/R carrier, 3.9 rear,
295/35 Hoosier R6's...
Full Cage,
New Trans,rear, brakes, tires, wheels etc..
ALl updated....

Have I reached the limit?\

I have never ventured beyond NJMP, both tracks Lightning/ Thunderbolt,
since nov, 2013, 30 plus trackdays, I went from beginner, to black/red, racer group.

November 2013, was the 1st time I drove on a road course, with my 2013 1LE,

after over heating carbotech xp10/xp12, on the Camaro, I searched and got myself a much safer car.
and now I am at a stumbling point.
I do know both tracks , very well, I am very content being 1 hour and 15 minutes away,

and my 06' f350, likes staying local. 6.0 liter, which has served me well, but apprehension,
dictates, no far trips,

As far as videos, there are cameo appearances on youtube, but functionality of the car and my self preservation, are more important than
you tube.
