ok, so this is not about w2w. all about track days / hpde.
I am at a stumbling point, participating in Porsche Club HPDE, Black/Red Advanced Racer Group, I am getting passed by 2016 Cayman Gt4's, and 911 Gt3's., and newer cup cars. Very comfortable in the groups, 50% pass/ 50% I pass..... I am at the point of sliding the car, just to keep up, albeit controlled. Have I reached the limit of a 4th gen? The car is a 1998 Trans Am, built by Wheel to Wheel for competition in the 1998 Motorola Cup Series, then Grand Am gt, then AIX,Ite.......... Should I Accept as is, or is there something to do (cost effectively) to be quasi-competitive.. (Remember, it is only HPDE/track days, not competition) Specs are: 1998 Pontiac Trans Am, ls6 (little cam, 392 RWHP, full cage,, 3650 w/ driver, nascar front bar, one off adjustable rear bar, heim jointed rear links (all) heim /roto-jointed front upper and lower arms. Auburn R/R carrier, 3.9 rear, 295/35 Hoosier R6's... Full Cage, New Trans,rear, brakes, tires, wheels etc.. ALl updated.... Have I reached the limit?\

Now it's a HPDE /Track DayCar THat I am TRYING TO SORT>>>>>>>>>>>maybe TT in the future.. MAJOR ISSUE: BRAKES SHI**TY............Must hit pedal 2x's to set up for turn....
