Basic but mandatory track mods help needed.

I'm used to Hoosiers but they would be a poor choice for the wife. I want a tire that isn't an on/off switch at the limits and isn't skating all over the place cold. I am willing to give up some all out speed so long as it is more predictable for the wife. I just don't see myself having much fun on street tires so they have to be R compound.

The track car is a 944 Turbo that is gutted and caged through the firewall to the suspension. I have the widebody fit for it, the whole car (basically)will be fiberglass. 11" front wheels and 13" rears, it should weigh about 2400#'s. I had planned on a hot 3L 968 Turbo motor but after blowing up a few porsche turbo motors I think this car is getting a Z06 motor. That outta get a few peoples attention. In COM the only place it will fit is PA which is fine because there are a few other cars there anyway.
