I'd do a 997 facelift and add a glass rear window.

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 used to ride, and unless i want to find a good divorce lawyer, I cannot ride again....If you have never ridden...DONT. Its easier to never know what its like....but it is WAY to dangerous here in SoCal....been alot of motorcycle cops as well as sportbike riders killed around here recently. With the boon of cell phones, I wouldnt ride on the street now. I rode about 5 years ago. Now EVERYONE in a car is talking on a cell phone....its too risky....With a car, they just say sorry and you get it fixed....with a bike...ouch...
