Thanks for all the comments, guys. I've attached a file with the build sheet. Hopefully that will answer all the questions and give you "perspective" on how steep the slope can become. I seem to have found the cliff.
Unfortunately not.
And I'll bet you were going a lot faster there than you would be with me at MMC.
Please see attached file.
Actually it boards at the track. Not ever registered or licensed for the street. Tires are a bit narrower than you suggest right now as a starting point.
Unfortunately not.
Please see attached file.
WOW. That's taking a mean looking car and making it down right nasty! As far to the "dark side" as you can go! Fantastic!
It looks far too pretty to head to the track, but that's where it wants to go.
I assume 12 inch rears with 325/18? 9 or 9.5 inch fronts - 255 or 265/18?
How much weight has come off with the transformation?

That's spelled $ecan and porschemeister told me I didn't need one. 
(Awaiting incoming English grenade.)
Probably closer to 500 lbs ... then the cage went it.
That assumes a driver up to the task, and that's also a work in progress.

Beautiful car, 1300kgs will be a lot of fun to drive! Congratulations on this great build. 
A Secan is always welcome and will keep IATs cooler, but for mid 500s + is where it seems to be really needed. That money can be spent on so many go fast/look fast parts

Very, Very nice build sheet! All the right moves. Windows and CF doors and you have another 50kg.
But if its track only why not go with wider tires up front couldnt you do 285 front and 335 rears?

Thanks. Starting model was a GT2 ClubSport, not an Evo. Others have done it differently, but this was how I wanted to go. 285/335 might be possible, but very aggressive with these flares and heavy at the front. Existing tires are a starting point only and might change; not like they're going to last forever. Lighter glass (non Evo type) is an obvious weight saving possibility, but the aluminum doors are staying.
