No. Look into upgrading the dry sump system, too. Pan baffles, oil pickup and a larger capacity tank (like the one from ARE). Since you're tracking the car I would not be without this extra insurance.

I would much rather buy a track car than some 60 year old douche bags car who only drove it 500 miles a year and changed the oil only once a year.
If the person took the time to track the car, then they also took the time to maintain it. You have to remember that the car was designed on the track and for the track.
It would be like buying a husky and then worrying about him being too cold in the winter.

U don't think husky's get cold? J/K
To the O/P, drive more, worry less. If it was raced and maintained, it's fine. If u up-grade the stock rockers, just don't do it with harland-sharpe, use the bushings instead like the CHE offerings from RPM.

Which rotors are those? Mine has Stoptechs as well...They are incredible, I can't believe how nice they are! Your thoughts?
Are you in OK?
Where is your exhaust dumped?
You need a rear diffuser....
Looks great, do you have any sound clips for me???

The exhaust stops right before it goes over the axles as of right now. I'm fabbing up a larger rectangle shaped tip to fill the rear area where the exhaust exits in the rea. It will also be powdercoated satin black to match the rest of the car.
The only rear diffuser I have found that I like is by Breathless Performance but its overpriced in my book at over $1200 plus it must be finished then painted so your into it for nearly $1500 by the time you bolt it to the car. I will have the car on my lift tomorrow and may start fabbing up my own rear diffuser.
I have a few vids, I'll try to upload them tomorrow and post a link in here for you. The car is very loud from idle all the way to redline. It screams at the 7400 redline and no longer sounds like a Vette.
