Improving speed & handling for race setup
A short while ago a friend of mine gave me a ride in his '02 Porsche 911 Turbo at the Nurburg-Ring race track here in germany. I was more than impressed to say the least. I didn't have my Camaro with me, still I'm sure I won't be able to hang with him. Are there mods that could make me run with him (speed and handling) ?

Re: Improving speed & handling for race setup
you're already on your way with the prokit and bilsteins.
next i would say some good subframe connectors, panhard bar, lower control arms, sway bars, and probably poly bushings on your front suspension.
that should get you cutting corners pretty good.
oh and GOOD tires...after all that's what connects the car to the road

I already have panhard bar, lower control arms..... next thing I'm ordering are SFCs, big far sway bars, poly bushings and a nice head&cam combo. Hopefully that will make run fast enough
