I know the mod bug oh so well.
My personal preference is always to modify the suspension first. I think it's the best bang for the buck because a better suspension setup is something that you can feel every day. I am not really into hp becuase I think anybody can go fast in a straight line.

well... since you already have an 02... you don't have to worry about the facelift..... and you have the stornger engine... i wish i frequent this site before i got the 99...... although i still love my 99........ but if i can do it again... 02 would have been the way to go.....

i currently have a 99 cab with iforged wheels already, and a nice stereo upgrade...... can't afford everything yet.... so taking little steps......

I don't know your financial situation but if you can't afford to do all the modding you want, I'd definately get the CD. This could be close to 15% of a previously owned GT3 in the future.

i am not a FA, but financially, mod is waste $$.
save up for the real deal, TT or GT3

BUT - there's the fun factor! Driving a Porsche is sooooo much fun and when you once got the mod bug, then this is an addiction too!
