The only thing the car needs is a driver mod. Hopefully your first HPDE in the ZL1 included instruction. If so, continue it. If not, get some.

The car needs nothing (perhaps except brake fluid) besides for you to follow the official published GM track prep instructions. If the brake fluid isn't new, flush it and consider an upgrade there. The stock FE4 suspension is superior to 90% of vehicles you will see on the same circuits. And the stock GYF1SC3 tires and brakes are the best performing and lowest cost solutions you will find for the car. And you'll use a lot of them if you are out on the track on the weekends. Yes there are marginally better things that can be done, but at significant expense which you will not have sufficient experience to realize benefit from until you have many hours on the track in your car.

So save your mod money for track insurance, fuel and consumables until you can out-drive the car. Most can't. If you get serious and the car doesn't have PDR, then consider an aftermarket lap timer.
