I still think I can win on the track. I mean, he's got a great handling car, but that puny 2.5L engine with 250 HP shouldn't be all that hard to destroy. It's not an E46 333 HP machine.
Yeah but unless there are a lot of straights he's gonna kill you in the corners! Especially if he has some seat time! Can you try and use the stock sub and maybe do the Guldstrand mod? Can you do the Guldstrand mod on 3rd gens? Maybe some UCA's and spindles that can give you better geometry along with more camber.

Try and center as much of the mass as you can. Trying to set up a 'vette transaxle in your car will probably take you over your budget. I would opt for a good used LS1. New heads and a cam. 5 speed. Stiffer springs and adjustable shocks so you can dial it in. PHB or Watts? Truck Arm?
