After a year of HPDE, I've decided to make my 2021 GT500 (base model) a "dedicated" track car --- time to fully commit to the HPDE rabbit hole!
Going to add a roll bar/harness bar, and replace the base model seats with some racing seats. I'm 6'3" without a helmet on so headroom and proper shoulder height/angle for harnesses is critical.
Roll bar -- looking at Competition Motorsports and Watson at the moment. Any others I should consider? Recommendations?
Seats -- plan on heading to a race shop next week to sit in some seats to get right fit.
I'm hoping to find a seat that allows me to sit lower in the car, as well as give me more headroom to sit closer to the steering wheel (so arms are as close to 90 degree angles as I can get).
Next up -- better camber plates for more camber, and likely Steeda springs for lower center of gravity.
Thanks in advance for any input/thoughts/advice.
