Default Re: XF -- feasible track car? ???

Inital plans would include suspension work and an LSD with steeper gears. Anyone made these upgrades yet?

I would look to drop as many Lbs. as possible by taking out anything that wasn't ncessary inside -- anyone tried any lightening yet?

And of course, some kind of forced induction would be necessary...

I'd be interested in anyone else's experieces in this direction !
Anything short of a supercharger and some heavy suspension modifications aint going to let you run with an E46 m3 or decently modded e36's.

The crossfire is outclassed by those cars severly, Better off buying a E36 m3 because when you done spending all the money to make the crossfire perform you could have bought one and saved some cash.
