What to get for TT with 20K to spend?

Just curious what components you'd get to mod a TurboS.

Here is what I'm thinking...

-around 5K for some minor hp mods - no clue as to what I'd get for 5K

-7K for wheels/tires

-8K for techart body kit (is this realistic?)

Does that sound about right? Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Chris

Stage 2 - $6k
Wheels - $7k

The TechArt kit (front & rear bumpers, side skirts, side inlets) will run you over $13k easily.

Chris, meet me for lunch in menlo and I'll show you what the PSI upgrade with exhaust feels and sound like. We can hook you up with a stage2/1 for comparison

I would sell the car and put the 20K on top and get a GT2.

It's all about power - get the car chip'd, a free flowing exhaust, and put an attorney on retainer with the rest

Get some power, software, exhaust , handling, getyour car properly set up , shocks and sway bars and go take some driving lessons at a good school like skip barber or other..

This way you wont be just another bench racer...

Forget about the bling.

For $ 7k, you can do a Misha wing and a Ruf RGT front bumper.

Spend the money on performance mods first . . . body kits should be last on the list.
