I think if you’re smart with mods you can have a great livable daily driver that’s really fast. (Catted instead of catless downpipes, maintain full exhaust valve control, no roll cage, pump fuel map and race gas / E map, separate set of drag radials on wheels for the drag strip and a race wheel/tires setup for lapping. The G chassis and S58 is such an amazing platform you can build a low-mid 10 second platform easily and not compromise on daily driving ability at all.

So if you go down this road, how long is long? Say I wanted to keep it for 10 years and make sure it’s “drivable”, how easy is this done? I’m asking because I freaking love the idea of making this thing faster, but I want to make sure it runs in 10 years totally fine.
