Guns, you want to goto the track with a car a bit closer to stock to start. Things happen very quickly, with alot of tire, beefed up suspension and what not. You're going to be really pissed when suddenly you're going backwards into a wall.
And the wing is ugly as ****.
And the CF dash from GT is flimsy as hell.

First of all, a pristine modded car should not be brought onto a track. I've had a variety of dedicated track cars and after a few minutes on track they are no longer pristine. The amount of rocks and other junk tossed up by other cars is unbelievable and fiberglass fenders will start to crack from bodyflex, etc.
Secondly, if you have zero track experience one of the worst cars to start with is a modified 951. It's too fast and too unpredictable (think boost mid-corner) to learn how to drive properly on track.
If you bring it on a track you need to be able to afford (financially and emotionally) to walk away from it when (not if) you end up crashing it.

In my experience racing is a RICH man's sport - so if I'm worried about crashing it and not being able to replace it - why the hell would I ever set foot on a track?
MPD47 - I know its ugly as ****...its one of those, "its so ugly its beautiful" but thanks for the honesty
Reno808: Thanks for the support man, but seriously you have to have ***** to post any ideas on the turbo board...its like a pool of sharks and you've got a bloody nose!
JBrown: Any pics of the engine and duct work on the backside of that hood? Looks beautiful man, any interior shots?

I have to say man, If you post pictures, and ask for opinions on a bb, you are going to get them. All of them, so you are welcome to hang out with the 911 guys, but don't be surprised when they are even less enthused about your project then some of those here. I you don't want to hear opinions, you may not want to solicit them.

Guns, I like what you're doing with the car..
I think the back needs some work though. You really need to find a way to fit the turbo valence in the rear, cuz the car looks like *** without it... Also, ditch the US bumper, get one of euro-fibreglass replica's.
I'm on the fence about the GT racing wing.. It's a bit much, but I'm sure it works better than the 968TRS wing which I think looks way better.

Ehall: I love the opinions and comments! Like from MPD47 - I respect what he's done in huge ways and I totally take to heart what he says (as well as yourself). The shark comment is about how you can't be thinned skinned about asking for opinions on this board and I know the reactions I'm going to get - I VALUE THE OPINIONS GREATLY. If the sharks didn't care they wouldn't bit me, haha. The deal is you guys care enough to give me what you think straight up and that's why I post here. If you have an idea and it gets ripped to shreds, the stuff left over is usually the best thing to do!
The 911 comment was about the point made that eventually the car will crash if on the track. Those guys throw $70k in mods on a car, and drive it straight into a wall and laugh about it. I'm not that rich, but if I take it to a track I know that's a possiblility and I'm totally cool with that. I'm gonna toss about $50k at this "for fun project" just to see what happens! I'm planning a dedicated track car that's pretty much stock later on, but first I have to do the "show" piece to satisfy this urge I have - if I run it into the wall at 70mph, as long as I walk away I'll be sure to post the video!
TO ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR OPINONS AND COMMENTS EVERYONE IS ALWAYS HELPFUL AND CONSTRUCTIVE IN WHAT THEY SAY...KEEP ANY FRESH IDEAS/CRITICISM COMMING....but don't think I'm dumb enough to put a car on the track and not expect some damage!!! MUCHO RESPECT TO ALL!

i think it is cool you are modifying your car, everyone has their own tastes so everyones car will end up a little different from the rest. here is a pic of the turbo RS spoiler on my car...
