I am in FS right now, but am looking to move into ESP sometime. I wanted to know from people with experience if this would be advisable for someone who wanted to keep their car as a daily driver as well. I would definitely have two sets of wheels, one for daily driving and one for autox, so other than this, would I be ok, assuming I modded my car to the fullest SP extent possible?

 

Hey Jeff, mines a daily driver even though the engine hasn't been touched. But since all you can really do (other than balance and blueprint and port match no more than 1" into port) are bolt on things, even the engine will be VERY streetable.

The suspension is pretty much max'd out for ESP unless I went with some other exotic shock or something. The amount of camber I have in mine will probably wear the inside of my front tires a little more than normal but you don't HAVE to run as much as I do (about -1.4 or so).

I could use a Torsen T2R but Sam won't give me one.

My car rides better than it did stock, no doubt, no question. I travel about 40 miles or so round trip and my car is 10 times more enjoyable to drive now than it ever was. The Vigilate 2600 stall didn't hurt either!

I'm thinking I'd like to update my engine to a balanced and blueprinted LT4 with all the bolt-ons. That ought to get me close to where I need to be, I would think maybe 400hp at the crank.
