I have so much to learn. Thanks for the help. More info on the car, I run a modified muncie transmission with a QuarterMaster triple disc, 7 1/2" clutch, and a Ford 9" full floating rearend. Depending on the track I'll use anywhere from a 3.10 to a 4.11 gear. Most places I run a 3.55 and I top out at about 140 mph. I've run the car at Sebring, Road Atlanta, Virginia International, North Carolina Speedway (Rockingham), Charlotte, Carolina Motorsports Park, and Roebling Road Raceway (Savannah). I cannot adequetly express to you how much fun it is to drive a car like this as fast as you feel comfortable on a premier road course like Road Atlanta! The last time I was at Rockingham (Aug 11-12, 2007) there was a CTS-V there. Thats actually what got me to looking at a Cadillac street car.
Road Atlanta is the best road track in the South. Sebring is much better now since the new construction of pits and grandstands completed. Great wide track with no elevations. You need a vette at sebring to beat the porsches, but it can be done.
Good luck with your project and safe driving. Beats racing on I-95.

I do take it to local car shows, but it is primarily my track car. I attend high performance driving schools like those offered by Porsche and BMW clubs. Its a good way to get your speed and cornering fix with out fear of the law or contact from other cars. (Theoretically). I only get to go about 3 or 4 times a year. Its quite an expensive hobby, plus taking time off work to travel.
