I'd do some serious upgrades to the suspension & braking system before tracking that car. Despite having 361hp, those cars weigh close to 2 tons. It would take a serious braking system to slow that beast down repeatedly at the track.

Unless, you're talking about Friday evening drag races...in which case have fun with it!

I bet money that your wife will NEVER EVER let you take HER new car out on the track.

You got yerself a G8? was checking out the G8 Pace car at this weekend's Grand-AM races. (it was alternating Pacecar duties w/....an RX8!!). it looked pretty much stock, except for extra lights and belts. it seemed to be quite comfortable on the track, i must say. noticeable body roll, but that shouldn't be surprising. I'm sure the brakes got plenty cooked, though!

Hey RAZZ

Couldn't easily convince you that I tracked the 8 (RX8) https://www.rx8club.com/showpost.php...postcount=1751 but I confess with great difficulty I've resisted tracking the R8 with 307KW (411 Ponies!) being 1800kg with standard big brakes capable of stopping in shorter distance than BMW’s M5.!

Go on you can do it!
