Do u guys think that my car will be fast enough to do a open track day? I dont want to be so slow that it is not safe for the other drivers. Do u think i should give myself another 75 hp?

hahaha. yea never said srt 10 and i know camaro was one of my worst ideas. The deal with the s4 was i had one for teh right price but i ran a carfax and it showed up some very strange things. It had had 5 owners and they were all for short periods of time. So im starting to mod the 2.8 and rims are the first to change prolly around this week.

Cars are only fast for drag racing. When roadracing, it is the driver who must be fast, grasshopper.

In roadracing, we have a saying. "The newb with the most horsepower just hits the wall the hardest."

well im only a newb to racing in a car. In my younger years i raced the real racing go karts. BUt they were usually all around the same power. So i should be fine as far as performance goes?
