Message	That is, in terms of "stage III or less" as an example... I know the TT would be faster, but that's not what I'm asking.. I know both cars would obviously need an upgraded radiator, pads, brake fluid, and at perhaps some better brakes ;)... but as far as not having any issues, do you think the N/A would be more reliable being used STRICTLY as a dedicated roadcourse car? I ask, because I got into an argument (intellectual debate if you will) about whether a TT or N/A would be reliable with my neighbor (that owns a Lotus). I mean how many turbocharged cars do you see at Hallett, MSR, etc? Not alot other than Z32's and Porsche's. Yes, I know there's those of us that track our cars (Guapo, Nixit, Sacto, Myself, Kuah, etc..) and are TT owners, but yeah... now I"m rambling... but what do you think? Let's hear your thoughts... Current Z's: 1991 Silver Metallic TT 5spd
