[QUOTE="v6mustang94, post: 1317225, member: 8641"] I think my biggest struggle is finding the balance of street and track. I 100% understand where you guys are coming from with pounding seat time into my mind, and I know from experience my car is fun as is on track. Will more HP make a better track car? No. Do I want more HP and stuff for my car just because? Yes. I have friend that has a '99 Camaro that he has at least $40k into. Part of that is he spent too much money on a motor upgrade, blew the motor, and had to get a new one that he also spent too much on. He also spent thousands on adjustable suspension (LCAs, shocks, torque arm, panhard rod... etc...) that he has no idea how to adjust properly. He has never had it on a track. He is exactly the car guy I don't want to be. I don't want to blindly throw money at my car, but I do still want to turn wrenches on it for fun. I just want to do it the most productive way possible. While the perfect track car isn't my end goal at this point, the goal is to have the purpose steered toward driving it on road courses. Again, I appreciate everyone's feedback. It's helping me get ideas and the direction I want to go next. Being in MN, the car sits under a cover for about 6months. So this is the time of year I pick a new modification or two for it. [/QUOTE]
