I have a line on a 97 Z28 six speed with a hurt engine, car is all stock....for a good price.
What do I need at a minimum to track day it, a dedicated trackday car. Can I put vette brakes on the front and LS1 brakes on the rear? I am gonna gut the car, totally gut it. Try to get it to 3000 lbs. What suspension do I NEED on this car? I am a novice..where do I need to start? As far as tires, brakes, suspension....I know I need a bar, belts and seats. David |

I agree with Mitch and Jason. Decide what your plans are. Read through the posts here.
I'd take the car to a few driver schools and learn to drive before you mod the car. It is easy to mod the car only to find later you should have done it differently. The cheapest route may be to buy a used CMC or AI car rather than invest in this other car that needs a new motor. Good luck, Tony |

Good luck, Tony What they said, especially about buying a used CMC/AI car. $8-$10K will buy a nice CMC car. |
