    hope your not on stock brakes. Stock Evo's destroy race pads,rotors etc. I'd love to see one with 600whp on stock brakes with race pads lol. Your $450 HT-10's would be done in 25 laps seeing that you could drive at an instructor level. There is no cooling, and the aftermarket cooling is weak. Also with that power it's going to be hard to find an instructor that will sit in that car. You have no experience in a car that'll do 160 on the back straight (faster if you have a BBK) and someone is trusting you with there life. I would strongly advise you to use a different car as that car is not going to teach you anything about road racing or how to drive fast.
    FYI i've been doing this for some time now, and i'll be getting my instructor license this summer and TAKE my advice for your own good!!! MOST every car that get's totalled out there is a highly modified car with a driver who LEARNED on a highly modified street car to start, instead of a stock car, or momentum race car. It's to the point where I just feel sorry for the one's doing it right in the momentum cars, as they loose track time when the stupid newbs bring 600hp Vette's, rediculous Evo's and M3's and smash them into the wall because they think big power automatically makes them good and experienced. Happens almost every weekend!! PM me if you'd like to be introduced to it out there properly. I can hook you up with some veteran friends with Evo track cars that are quite fast (all with less than 400 crank hp).

    I'd like to run...
    1:05 on Talladagea (down from 1:08)
    1:36 on Road Atlanta (in the race car)
    1:40 (in the street car)
    2:34 (at Road America, best is 2:36)
    It's also pending if i'm going to the Ring and to Laguna sometime this yeah but I'd like to make it a goal that atleast one happens.

    Oh and i'd like to do
    12.7@108 in the street car.

    I will have a BBK before I hit the track. I already have the carbon fiber cooling ducts, but I still need the hose kit.

    Like I previously said, I won't race this car on a 600+whp tune. I will switch to a smaller, more responsive turbo making a lot less power. My car already has a full cage also with a net.

    I appreciate all the info.
