It's a great point to bring up. Smbstyle, be sure to post back what suggestions you receive so we can pass them along to our friend (with a G8 ).
absolutely! One thing on my list to bring is a pen and notepad, lol.
since this is an LS6 motor, I wonder if the C5 Z06 aftermarket dry sump kits would fit? (same motor). although that is probably a whole nother topic for a different day.
another thing I am thinking about is the NT-05's that I just put on the car about 1k miles ago, if I need to get some wear on them before taking them onto the track... i am hoping this week with PCA and next week with FCRC at Brooksville might get the tires a bit more broken in.
