The car is a blast with wheels, tires, coilovers, brake pads/fluid and an oil cooler. Next mods will be a good LSD and brakes. If you have cost in mind though a 350 with the track package would be a nice option.

Alright thanks for the input, correct me if I'm wrong but the track package is just a brakes upgrade and a VDC on/off button?

Its not that cost is playing a big factor but if I can come out with near the same end result for 10-15k cheaper it just seems a heck of a lot more sensible since I'm not torn to one car or body style over the other. unless I'm forgetting something major between the two.

The track package has the brembos and a VLSD. If you are replacing the lsd and brakes anyways then it doesn't matter, but if you're looking to just get out there and track while still building the car then its a good option. Personally for me I did NOT want a full build to track. I wanted to have a build where I start bone stock, and shake the car down and come up with a plan and order as to what mods I want to do and how it affected the car afterwards. You learn a LOT more about the car and the parts doing that in my opinion. You feel the differences.
