YES!!! Have them do a proper setup. The biggest challenge is that most can not do corner balancing. But at least provide them with the settings you want.

Fully agreed. I own a 997 911tt set up for the track with plenty of power (evoms 775 with lots of suspension mods). I also have an 08Z06.

The Z06 with just some more aggressive tires than the crappy stock GY's is simply extremely hard to beat if driven properly. You can pick up some early 06/07 models in the mid/high 30's, change the dry sump to a larger one and drive them hard.

I'll streetcars come from the factory with a tendency for understeer. It keeps Joe blow from getting the rear around. Joe blow does not know how to handle a car that oversteer's.
