Indeed, every track car I have run I have put on coilovers and valve them how I want (I have tools and a shock dyno in my garage). I prefer not to have tons of aero when it is a dual purpose car.
Interesting, I have driven cars with lots of low end torque. Mainly they have been all FI engines and not N/A. Still this was a very clear ON/OFF feeling, it very well could have been that the nanny's were on. Seems like I'm right in assuming it was partly me and very maybe the car's history being a bit of an unknown it will remain a ?? until i try another. Unfortunately there are no other M7's near me. I have the 8l90e in my ctsV and I for sure do not want it in a vette if I am going to get one.

You may figure out what fits your driving style and needs in a single session or it may take several track days. Experience certainly plays a role but so does how hard you drive....ie 7/10s and having fun but not worried about being the fastest guy out there vs running 10/10ths on the ragged edge after FTD and/or a personal best every lap.
