Also, please buy the stickiest tires you can. I have preached here many times that tires are the cheapest way to improve the REAL (not bench-racing) performance of your car. Sticky tires will also save your butt over and over again. I hear a lot of folks saying they break the tires loose in 3rd or 4th - well who cares, that is bench racing. They likely have a poor suspension setup/tune and/or are running poor-traction tires. Try that 3rd gear tire spin against me on a clear straight and I'll walk-off from ya... I run Toyo R888 track tires. They do not last that long, but are much safer and quicker (in reality) than the tires I see many folks running (BFG being the worst). Get sticky tires.
