I hope i was in the right class this time. STS? I have drilled rotors, eibach springs, and the tranny mounts? Maybe a chip also, i am suppose to be able to hit the revlimiter in 5th gear?
Anyways, the vert is a fun track car, I'm thinking of dedicating it to be one.
I would like some class feedback, and what else i can do my car since it would be in said class.
Thanks,
Wade

STS sounds like your best pick. Tires will be the biggest improvement you can make, run some Azenis. I'm not usually a big fan of large swaybars, but that would be my next suggestion for something that wouldn't make it stiff on the street but would really improve response in transitions. Get as much camber as you can, go toe out on the front. Make sure your LSD is actually working. There's a few HP tied up in the stock exhaust as well, you could spend $50 and clamp on a new muffler. That's about it!
Damn. Now that I think of it, STS doesn't allow LSD. Is yours open?

Your statement "the vert is a fun track car" kind of throws me though, I thought we were talking about autocrossing. If you want to do HPDEs or some other school, on an actual road course, the vert is NOT a good track car. It's heavy, flexible, and you'll have to get a rollbar or cage to run. If you're thinking of a dedicated/competitive track car or autocrosser, sell the vert.
