Some sort of track day with instruction. Until then you'll be just another joker with a fast car who doesn't really know how to drive it

Decide on mods after you have done this.

If you end up taking your car, the only mod you might want is high temp brake fluid and race pads for the day, depending on the track and how much you'll be driving. Street pads are probably more 'safe' as you're used to them, but if you end up with brake fade or boil your fluid it will ruin your day.

I'm doing one more DE day and after I'll probably upgrade to Billstein Damptronics, h&r sways, and do the necessary dog bone + rear toe steer link upgrades. The car seems to be quite capable in the handling department, but it just feels bad to me and isn't very confidence inspiring especially at higher speeds which this car can effortlessly attain.

After this I might look into exhaust/ECU, but I'm going to wait until I'm at least a year into my 2 years of extended CPO warranty. I might do just exhaust sooner rather than later, the stock exhaust isn't that great.

If I had to choose between my go-fast mods and my TPC suspension it would be no contest. The suspension everyday.

If HP is your goal then you probably will want to upgrade to a 700 series package offered by several vendors on the forum.

Its arctic silver on black. It has chrono as well as a sport shifter. I don't really need that much hp, 575 would be just fine with me. Afterall I plan to drive it and not leave it in the garage.

Then that's easy...flash/exhaust combo. Lot's of good choices out there. Btw, 700 packages are definitely daily drivers, just like Zr1s.
