How often do you plan on racing it? Also if you do gut it and it becomes a full race car do you plan on touring several race tracks around the surrounding states and race for money? That becomes very expensive unless you have an extremely good sponsor. If you're just gonna goto 4 or 5 races a year at a local track or two, I say forget gutting the interior and keep it a street car. You'd ruin the car otherwise. I don't know what year yours is, but my GSX is a '99. I would never give up the stock inside appearance just to run a little faster and have to put a cage in it. I have absolutely no desire to run better than 11.50, EVER! Running like 11.0 doesn't do me any bit of good than running a 12.0 except for stupid bragging rights. A cage to me just ruins the car if driven on the street frequently. Also, If you just plan on bracket racing, I think the answer is a no brainer. My vote is to keep it a street car.
