Ha ! funny you say that, exactly why I was so high on the brakes last time out... never spent more than 10 mins on the track until i got this oil cooler installed

Look, I'm still recommending this car - I want ppl to know that!! I really enjoy driving it, and for comparison I have about 50 hours of track time in a mid-engine porsche, 15 hours in a corvette, and 5 in a formula car... I'd put this one tied for first with the formula car! ... and a leg up for practicality (drive to track). I think you could get away with simply adding an oil cooler, a few routine safety items, and maybe the right pads, if you really wanted to. I'm just looking for more.
