Fun little car, but I never felt that it was going to really handle how hard I was going to push it unless I put about 4k into brakes. Unfortunately, I had to travel for work at the last minute for this year.
Last year, I learned a lot about the Solstice I put together. Unfortunately, I learned that I didn't really feel the confidence in that car. Now that I've had a few months behind the Z, I think I made the correct upgrade. The Z gives me the confidence that when I throw it into a hard corner, the back end isn't going to just fly out. I also learned that the brakes on my Solstice, sucked! Burned the after-market ones up after about 7 hard laps. I was very disappointed. I also realized that I had plenty of power for a track like that and my level of experience. I had thought about doing an LS7 swap into the Solstice or run bigger turbo's, but after that day...no way. I like the Z's linear gain, very predictable.
