Correct!

Tom (?), yes, the gearbox is a good place to spend your money, I just did mine.

It's not earth-shattering, but it makes the car just-right. Once you have the proper gearing, you have the platform to do the other stuff. Doing only the R & P is ok, but it still leaves the large spacing, so the total gearing should be done as a system, as a whole.

I would say tires, alignment and $6000 in track time, nothing else comes close unless you are setting fastest lap of the day

You could get your coolant lines welded. Seems a lot of people are doing it now. Not a performance upgrade, but peace of mind on track is worth something.

Why set a price of $6,000.00? There are lots of thing you can do by improving the car or your skills and each little thing has a cost. Most thing are less than 6k so you can do lots of improvments and end up above or below 6k. What is the reason for the unusual limit?
