eXcellent write up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I track all my cars as well, everything from an 02 WRX, 04 STI, 06 Spec b and an 07 Si all of which were tuned to extremes..... I'm hoping to do well with the Cobalt this year....
one of my cars....

I track my cars so I wont know for sure until I get it on Road Atlanta. But as far as the street driving, its 100 times better. Quicker turn in with less body roll. The spring rates are nice and compliment the revised shocks. I'd estimate its about 15% stiffer than stock. The big thing is weight transfer - and the car just feels planted.
I'm nearly positive the handling has improved - probably to .94 around the 200ft skidpad.

And yes I am jealous.
We have a raceway opening up really really close to me...but I don't have the $$$$$$$$ to be a member...quick question for you:
Do they have events where you pay a fee and get to run o nthe trakc for the day?
It is a general track question not one in particular.

I'm thinking about doing an easy exhaust mod this weekend.
You can run that track next to you in October - both of em actually for maybe $300, both days. Thunderbolt and Lightning I think they are called. ANyway, its supposed to be the shiate. New facility and everything.
Go to Chinmotorsports.com and check it out. You'll find it.

Thunderbolt has a few configs...it is all new and the track is beautiful...
...now here's an honest question:
SS/TC or GSX-R 600
$300 is not bad at all! I am so excited, I finally get to push my car or bike in a safe non policed(
) enviroment, and get to get lapped by Sentra's while looking dumb and learning how to track drive

The Sentra will only be fast in the short stuff!
I hope it stay warm enough for the summer tires in Oct...
