Dedicated track car, not for road use ever, at the Nurburgring.

Would you change the suspension, to what, and why?

Thanks lads. I am sure that the oe suspension is more than capable versus my ability however there are characteristics with the car that I do not like. Albeit they can probably be well dialled out by someone in the know. There's also that mod bug in me that likes to tinker and make it more my own.

I would absolutely have it (new suspension) set up by someone who knows and more than likely that will be by a resident garage at Nurburg. I've emailed a few of the specialists - Manthey, GetSpeed, Frikadelli but its also good to get the opinions of those that have nothing to gain.

By no means am I racing driver but I like to think I can still feel the benefit of new parts. I am also sub 8 since you asked.

I have considered the Cup car route but the road legal set up as well as the general set up to run one does not appeal to me so much. I've yet to hear anything good on the cost of ownership / running side of things as well. The all out no nonsense certainly appeals but perhaps all a bit too serious for non competition. You've said yourself Steve that the closing speeds amongst the road going stuff can be scary as well as frustrating just to try and tie two consecutive corners together without me getting in the way with my road going GT3!

The KW Clubsport - maybe Manthey or other - seems to be quite appealing. A nicer price point than the others that are more than likely beyond my capability. The extra three grand could buy me some nice rose joints and kinematics etc come the time.
