Ok, hypothetical question. You happen to have a 996.... you have some extra cash laying about... lets say 20K.

You want to build up your car for a great DE car so what would you do?

I would think:
PSS9's
4 wheel brake upgrade (stoptech)
supercharger

What is your thoughts?

I would do the PSS9, with Gt3 sway bars.....then do a DE...See if you need the extra stuff.....Master a 300hp car before you try and master a 400hp car...

who said anything about mastering anything? Just posing a question! If you had 20k mod your car and you were setting it up for DE events? I do agree with the GT3 sway though... missed that... add that one to my list.

Actually I'd do the PSS9s but since they're fairly soft, rather than doing GT3 sway bars, I'd do the H&Rs which are beefier
