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 |

Stick with a stockish car on street tires when you start out. Traveling, entry fees, fuel, and consumables cost enough that you'll likely be wondering where the money went anyway.
After doing it the opposite way, I'd say safety first. I was going awful fast last year for no safety and it's a wakeup when you realize you're doing about 120 into a corner with fading brakes and a stock seat belt. Beware the red mist... |
