Description:
Once a daily driver, but now in retirement! The modifications are getting deep...
I have taken the car out to my club's HPDE on quite a few occasions. I've slowly built the suspension up as I've improved my skills, but I'm definitely still learning. The car has much more in her than I can get out. Hopefully that will change soon.
I plan to keep this car for the long haul. Eventually, I want to be able to give it to my son (when he's old/mature enough).
So in the back of my mind, I'm really building it for him...I just get to enjoy it in the interim.

Future Modifications:
Most of the aesthetic mods are done for this car, with two noteworthy exceptions. I'll be going with a new hood. My current top pick is the Shelby CS6 hood, but I'm also liking the Stinger extractor hood.
Also, I plan to get a set of dedicated track wheels/tires. This will drastically change the look...at least while she's on the track.
From here, we are focusing on getting the most out of my skills and the car's current set up. So here's the plan.

Maximum Motorsports Roll Bar (4-point w/diag. brace)
Kirkey Road Race Seats

I'm also currently doing research on aero mods that I'd like to fabricate. We're looking at functional splitter designs and the requirements for a functional rear diffuser. Side splitters and a belly pan are not out of the question.
Eventually (est. 2011-12) we'll get into the guts...
