Kary, I would double check the POC GCRs. If you end up around 2,700 pounds, you're gonna get hit with almost 12 points just for the weight drop. We are estimating that my car will be close to 2,400, which puts me solidly into POC V0!

You have really done some work on your car if you have it down to 2400#, oh my!!!! Show us some pics and I will see you this season at some POC events I am sure.

Ha, you guys with zoomy cars that just cost more to be competitive - V2 and V0. My little putt-putt should be V3 (it's Kp) and I'll get to see how a Turtle fairs against a bunch of hares.

Right about now I feel like a guy who has decided to dig his own swimming pool. In my mind, I'm floatin' in the sun. Unfortunately, when I open my eyes, all I see is a bunch of of dirt.
We are stripping everything out, cutting the roof off, and building a cage that will extend past the suspension points on both ends. The tub will be acid-dipped and powdercoated. We will also freshen the motor during this project.

Tom, just for the record, I am not competing for V2 honors, I am just taking the next steps to make my car more trackable and safe. If I wanted to be competitive I guess I would be doing what Chris is doing, or maybe not

Anything else can be added or upgraded later. As we know, the journey from street to track is pretty much a one-way trip.
What lead you to choose the GT LSD? I was planning on grabbing a G50 with LSD.
