i think the best course is to make your car track worthy and safe, with reliable, easy and cost effective power from bolt ons
A good intake, exhaust, RFHC or test pipes (or if u got the elbow grease, headers), and a tune from a reputable shop
Cage or harness bar, race seat, helmet
High quality fluids everywhere
oil cooling
dedicated track pads
2 pc rotors all around
brake ducting
track tires (200 tw or stickier) and lightweight wheels
the best coilovers you can afford
SPL adjustable everything
hotchkis front sway, optional rear
thats a safe build, there are blueprints and options for this, nothing exotic needed
then you just invest as much SEAT time as you can and max out your skill
once you are at the point where track instructors can't get any more out of your car
then you decide if you wanna drop the $10k plus needed for a turbo and install, and a complete gutting of your interior to cut weight, including replacing stuff with carbon fiber everywhere
plus aero parts like a front splitter and adjustable wing
basically go up to the point where stuff is reasonably reversible and then max out your skill
for $130k, what other car can you even buy off the lot that's gonna beat a GT3 thats remotely streetable? some variant of a corvette, used maybe?
