I forgot to mention the tires. Continental sponsors the race so everyone MUST use the provided Continental Extreme Contact tires.

I was going to put a carbon fiber drive shaft in as well as a BBK as i have the stock brakes and i have essentially melted the brake pads in 8 laps and last race had to retire because caliper got so hot it melted the rubber seals and began leaking.

For brakes im looking at the AP Endurance BBK or the Stoptechs. Brembos i have no issue with but find you are paying for the name when u can get the same and better value with the 2 previous companies; however im willing to be convinced otherwise.

Is the trunk worth going Carbon fiber for? It seems pretty light already just like the hood. Will fuel injectors or fuel pump help?

And to be clear i dont expect to make up 5 seconds as the top cars are produced by owners of a performance shop but if i can shave off 2 seconds then that will put me in top 10.

Suggestions for Aero body kit or a link to one?

Also its an automatic with the paddle shifters (didnt have an option of manual because of a leg injury and pushing in clutch)

Is there a kit to have a removable steering wheel with paddle shaifters. I have a hard time gettimg in to car because of injury but havent been able to find a kit rhat allows paddle shifter removal for that car but maybe im blind.

Thanks for all the help. Its nice being not told to "just F'ing google it"

P.S. ...... GO SAINTS!!!!
