Not as much as you think. I should be able to come in below my original budget of $45K easily including a custom roll cage, Motons, bushings, seats, harnesses and everything.
Full on track set up should be in the neighborhood of $8,500 for all suspension parts including double adjustable remote resevoir set up.

If you are going to spend $45k why don't you make me an offer on my 996. You could buy it for only slightly more and have a way way better track car.

Of course, I'm not including my own labor and time. I don't really like other people wrenching on my car. It's a trust issue with me.

Jim, I don't think I'll have over $40K in the car when I'm done. Your car is sweet, but another $16K would land me in divorce court. If I'm going to do that, I'm at least going to do one race in a cup car before she takes it.

Feeling the car out still I guess.
I'm sure you're aware from conversation that he's coming from an NA S2 to the turbo car.
Your car is clean, tight and nicely done.
There's a local series race here this weekend, I'll let you know how Mike does.

Well, my plan worked. Start an honest discussion on 996's as track cars then let the negative people drive the market down to where I could afford one. Masterful!
Seriously though, I looked for a nice 996 for quite some time. This car has no idea what it has gotten itself into! I wanted red so that you couldn't see the flames as the engine explodes from too much track use.
This one has LSD, M030, sport seats, navigation and a fabspeed exhaust. I'll pick up my new track toy this weekend. Then...... let the modifications begin. Oh yeah, this one has a new motor....he, he, he!
