Seems sub 8:30 BTGs are quite easy, in something that's apparently slow.
Just goes to show that sorting handling, brakes and tyres is worth a lot more than chucking more power at a car.

So what exactly is a stage 2 tune on one of them? Intake, full exhaust and map?
Goes well.

That is a well set up car, balanced and neutral throughout. I would hazard a guess some wonga spent on running gear. There is no body roll whatsoever on the bends. I am firmly on the fun factor side of the fence put a knarley exhaust on that NA engine and get them well set up and for me it will be far more rewarding taking that on track than having a 350BHP wall of power.
