Brian, my last car was a similar weight to the Panoz but with slightly more weight over the front axle. It had 275 Hoosiers on the front and a manual "quick" rack. While it was very direct and great for sprint racing, I would not have wanted to race it for an extended period on a tight track. You would not need to hit the gym very often if you raced regularly enough as it would give you a good workout....!!

If you are not happy with the current set up, might be a good start to try one of the restrictor kits available (have seen them on the net but cant remember company name) prior to replacing the whole rack.
