I'd say well over 600hp, am I close?

I prefer to stick to my own version of the reality, you guys just want to keep them all for yourselves;

-You never ever NEVER race it because you add a zero and you go broke.
-Practice point by's.
-You just DE it at 9/10th. leave an extra foor at track out just in case and with a cage because it is safe reducing the change of wifey getting all the cash too early.
-You run on long lasting low grip tires, say NT-01 or similar your uprights, pads, rotors, bearings, etc will last much longer. Longer even than your much heavier street GT3.
-You change your own pads and rotors, use cheap Cayenne rotors.
-Now with low grip all your uprights etc will last much longer.
-Chip it to run on pump gas.
-Change engine and trans gear box oil every 3rd weekend along with a nut and bolt check.
-Be very careful shifting slowly.

Hope that you wont crash or do a money shift and it should be similar to running a GT3 on the track because well, it is sans extra weight. And if you do crash lightly at least you wont have to pay for 24 airbags and interior repair.

I prefer the slippery approach....good gearing and some good old fashioned carbs

My antique is 110 hp / L.....at least PCA says is is so 3*110....330
