Can the M be competitive in AS

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with this car.

I really wanted to get coilovers, but for the sake of my bumping classes and having a harsher ride, I think I'm going to steer away from them. In addition, BSP brings a world of modifications I don't think I'd ever do to this car.

If I upgraded to TCK DAs, removed my shims, got an exhaust and A6s, could this car really compete at nationals? I've been looking at the line-up, and been thinking that it seriously might have a chance (neglect the knucklehead behind the wheel for the moment).

I may have a slightly camber challenged car, but with how stiff it is from factory with DAs, I think it wouldn't be too terrible on transitions and it certainly has the power for corvette type courses.

Here is the AS line-up

AS Audi S4 (’10-'11)
AS BMW 1 Series M Coupe ('11) Z4 M Coupe & Roadster ('06-'08)
AS Cadillac XLR
AS Chevrolet "Corvette (C5 chassis, non-Z06)('97-'04)"
AS Ford Mustang Boss 302 (’12)
AS Lexus IS F ('08-'11)
AS Lotus Esprit Turbo ('96-'04) Evora (n/a)('10-'11)
AS Mazda RX-7 (Turbo) ('93-'95)
AS Mercedes C 63 AMG ('08-'11)
AS Porsche 911 (996 chassis) ('98-'05) Boxster S ('05-'08) Boxster and Cayman (non-S) ('09-‘11)
AS Cayman S ('06-'08)

Serious opinions needed. I'm thinking come a year or two if I decide to go this route I would be ready for nationals.

If contingency starts for RT classes, do you think there is a chance there?

Main goal - Become a competitive car in Solo while still having a weekend car and a track car I'd enjoy.
