I think you should wait a year before spending a lot of money on "upgrades". Get to know it first and then act as you will. You will find you have changed your mind as this car is really pretty good right out of the box.

@cosmomiller oh I’ve definitely been giving it a good shakedown

I’ve been to 3 years of HPDE events and am loving it. It’s a lot of fun to hold your own against GT3RS and GT4’s in a stock S2K and 200TW rubber (at least until they hit the straights)…

I was back and forth with swapping to a Miata platform because of affordability vs the S2K and not feeling bad about taking the Miata down a focused track car route, but recently decided that I want to keep a car that I can drive on the weekend and to the track, and drive home again, so I’m going to be sticking with the S2K.

My current (and always changing) plan is to change things slowly over time, starting with cooling, then better grip, then better braking, then more power.

Or something along those lines

Well, as far as better grip, I recommend Michelin 4s summer extreme tires!

@cosmomiller I’m currently running Falken Azenis RT660 in stock size, but the next upgrade will be to a square setup on wider wheels and rolled fenders that have room for a BBK
