[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16391377, member: 138028"] Welcome and congrats on your "new" 500. You mentioned road racing, you'll find that this car will handle most road courses fairly well. Get some track pads and good brake fluid. Set up the front suspension with some caster/camber plates and do a good alignment and it will do great. The 13 I had I did up rear suspension, adjusted the alignment and it had no problems on the road courses (I do Mosport twice with the car and Daytona Rolex course (bucket list)). Forgeline wheels and better brakes help it quite a bit. I started pulling some weight out of it (BMR K member, lightweight lower rad support, lightweight battery) and even on the stock motor it goes great with the lighter weight. I had stuff lined up for it for more ponies but I pulled the plug and sold off the parts and the car and got into my current ride (19 ZR1). If the Vette didn't come along I would have my Shelby rolling with near 700+RWHP with the lighter weight. Great potential there in these Trinity cars. Just to let you know, if you want to start down that mod path I still have a new never used PMAS air intake FS in the marketplace, take a look there. Good luck with the manual 500. *thumbs up* Tony [/QUOTE]
