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 |

As someone who just did HPDE type stuff for a while someone presented an idea to me: how much does it cost to prep your street car to come out here vs. a race car. We worked the #s, and there wasn't that much difference! Most folks think racing is cost prohibitive vs. open track; it depends on the series you choose to race in with CMC being an economical and popular choice.

Yup, what Julie said, although CMC is not here in AZ (yet), so I'm concentrating on HPDE for now. (I suppose I could go with a spec E30 or 944) |
