Continuing to chug along on the planning phases (probably more accurately deemed the monetary accumulation phase) and wanted to see if anybody had an input on "needs" for a MKIV that will be splitting time between the street and track. Basically anything that would be a real bear to install after the fact or make tracking potentially difficult to partake in. My initial list build list includes:

1) Passenger and Driver FF roll bars (no switching to Breeze)
2) Manual brakes (will be keeping the kit-supplied brakes at first with anticipation of swapping them out for wilwoods down the road sometime)
3) likely go with a 351W based 427 engine kit from Fortes with TKO 500/600.
4) although I'd like to go IRS, likely stick with a straight axle rear end.

Any further suggestions? Things to avoid?

Actually bought a 944 Porsche to track this summer to try to gain some skills (I'm a rookie in all senses of the word) while the cobra is being built so I'm not a complete rooking once this thing is complete.

Appreciate the input.
