Track time. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

Upgraded shocks/struts, springs/torrsion bars, and sway bars.

If there is any money left, a chip and possibly a brake upgrade.

Agreed, the place to start is the suspension, not much power can be had over stock on a NA. Some dynos have shown a loss in power with air filters and exhaust, etc. Have fun wih the car!

Agreed the place to start is the DRIVER barring any maintenance needs. Even bone stock these cars will challange most of our driving abilities.

joker53773,

If you have not done so, you might want to post your original question to the 924/944/951/968 Discussion Forum.

There are guys that hang out on that list that do not frequent this list and I feel sure that they will give you the detailed information for which you are looking.

Those guys love to chat and it is not unusual for a post to remain on "Page 1" for only a day, whereas a post will remain on "Page 1" of this list for months.

Best of luck.
