the additional 17K I bought myself a full STX buildsheet worth of modifications as well as alternate parts and setups depending track/course layout. 207 proven whp. with the torque dip shifted over 700 rpm lower and launch control activated at 3500 rpm with a higher redline (7800) to ensure in running at track days I won't face that dip, ever. I even have a 4.3 diff and there is no remote start or auto entry. It's as bare bones as you can get. with a proven and reliable set up. Oil cooler. pickup and baffling. It would be a more solid car than a bone stock 32k tS, which is the entire point.
To which is the lament that a PP car would have been a better base to start from in terms of having the brake upgrade, and the 4.3 diff and the "spicier engine" but at what cost difference? back when i was shopping it was near 8k difference in off dealer lot price. Now.. the margin gets slimmer because resale on these cars is abysmal.
What I did was a better option for going as extensively far as I have with the car OVER a stock car from factory.
Now if i wasn't intending on participating actively with the CCA and HPDE/time trials I would be more than happy with a stock 2018 tS and all the clout it takes to get that. And it's hill start assist ( my ND1 had it and it made me lazy)

Well clearly you have the best vehicle on here, and everyone should follow your plan...to each their own I guess?
I sure do love all the hate everyone throws who doesn’t have a tS though...
