OT: What would you do with $30K
If you had $30K to play around with, what would you do to your 993? I am currently contemplating my options, but wanted to hear other suggestions. Here is my top 5:
1. Upgrade to TRG sways and 18' wheels
2. Add a supercharger or Turbo
3. re-gear
4. replace it with a 993 turbo or 996 turbo w/x51
5. replace it with a 996 GT3.
What would you do???
PS. sorry if this question has been thrown around before. I didn't have time to search the archives.
Cheers.

That's what I did
It's not the smartest way to spend your $30K but it's the happiest way to spend it period.

None oif the above...
Leave you 993 alone and buy a race car...a spec 944 is about $15,000. A nice running SC set up for the track can be had for a little more, leaving you some change to by your trailer...then you just need a tow vehicle...buy a Toyota Tundra Crew Cab V8 4X4 for about $30,000, whoops, there goes the budget!

I'd buy a 964 cup car. The 993 Turbo really doesn't interest me. I'd rather save up for a 996 GT3.
Based on your list, though, I'd re-gear if it were a street car. My D class race car has almost every allowable mod, the turbo or supercharger being illegal in my class.
