Re. brakes: are the internal caliper (UFO) brakes or the smaller regular
brakes?

If they're not the UFO brakes, the car may be somewhat underbraked in a
track situation. The pads may help you there. There are problably
aftermarket multi-piston, drilled, ventilated, you-name-it brake kits
available. Check with Hoppen Motorsports and TAP.
