Message first of all you need to see what to modify on the Z. to do this, take the car to the roadtrack. you realize rather quickly that the first thing a Z needs is a good driver. it doesnt matter if a car is NA or TT.

1. modify the driver.work on your skills. if you have never been on a roadcourse, you have no idea of what it takes to be able to drive.

as you get better, you begin to outrun more powerful cars on the track. the next thing that you realize rather quickly is that the brakes feel weak after a couple of hard laps. and the back end of the car feels "loose".

2. upgrade the brakes, wheels , suspension.

you have had a couple of track days and now you have the big stoppers. the brakes make such a big difference. you dive into corners, brake later and pass people with ease. but you cant seem to rocket out of those corners as you would want to. you need more power

3. go after big HP. if you already have a turbocar, get the injectors, bigger turbos, intercoolers...etc. if you are NA, do your TT swap.

you take the car back out on the track for the first time. the car is a handful. it is so difficult to manage. you actually have to learn how to drive all over again.

4. modify the driver.


"But when do I put the catfish bodykit on the car and the big spoiler? When do I dress my car up like the Rice and the Rediculous?"

you dont.
