And if there is any chance of rain (or any moisture on the track) please dial your shocks to full soft and set your rear sway to full soft. Otherwise, your car will be a death trap in the rain. You should be fine with your ground clearance. However, be prepared to take a ride if you hit a corner curb (we call them gators). Keep in mind that a stock 370Z should be fine for a first track session. Once you have a little experience you should go high temp brake fluid, race pads, and an oil cooler. Then use your money to sign up for track days.

Give yourself a little more ground clearance, IMO you have a good street setup, but on a track with harder braking and super high speed turns your car should be allowed to lean onto the tires, not be counting only on camber for lateral grip. 60-70% stiff coilover setting, Medium front and Soft rear sway setting so you can handle slower turns or "esses" and not break loose when applying gas. Brake lines can come later, depends on the track. Shield your clutch line, and use race grade clutch and brake fluid. Preset tire pressure to 30, measure after 4 laps so hot temp is around 35 all around. Be smooth with applying gas and brake. Don't slam on brakes or gas, ease in to 100% your car and your times will benefit. Track early and often!
