$10 K to burn.....what to do

that is good advice.....if reality hits me... that is the best route to run...... but this mod bug.... man it's all over the place..... this site isn't helping either.......

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.....

route 2: supercharger $8K (hopefully if the 11+ goes through)
route 3: litronics - $1500, turbo bumper for 99-01 model - $1500 (front) $1K (rear), dansk $1K high flow, giac $1K
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.

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!

we're all fanatics here...and by definition, fanatics DON'T make good choices when it comes to our passion...... the question NOW is what is the best way to get the most for the least........... now there's the rub......
