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 |

not having plans to wheel to wheel race is no reason to not keep those options open. i had no plans to do it years ago either. in fact, i was plenty happy w/ HPDE stuff for about 5 years. then i dicided i needed more. got $10K in the fastest CMC car @ Nationals (got beat by a local to Mid Ohio). you could easily be CMC legal for a total of $5K (car and all).
point is lots of folks have been down the road your about to travel. and have learned the hard way. |
