my goal is to run an early model 996 cup car, modified to turn, stop, idle and shift on the street.

If you are going to make it turn, idle and stop then just buy a street GT3 and put a cage in it. You would spend 2x the money making a Cup car streetable then make a street car into what you want.

Just my $.02 worth

interesting.........

I thought about doing a gt3 street car conversion. With prices ranging from $65-85 for 2004 models, it is about the same as 1999-2001 cup and super cup pricing.

My expenses on a street car would include:

cup doors
gutted interior, air bags, wiring, etc.
roll cage
seats
harness
fire system

My expenses on a Cup car would include:

driver-passenger windows
street motor and transmission.
suspension


So, both cars have expenses plus or minus.

With a cup car, i assume my resale/investment value will hold itself with the benefit of being a factory track car throughout the years of ownership.

Whereas a street gt3 converted to track car will always be a stripped out street car ,thus priced accordingly below comparable street cars. So investment value becomes questionable.

And by converting a street car, i miss out on the benefit of the Matter installed roll cage offered in the factory cup......... this is my main issue.

so basically its the cup tub im after.....

mmmmnnnn......

 

look lol ...this is my mechanic who drive my cup from his garage to my team , funny .
p.s. he has prototype test plates ,it's legal .
