Congratulations, you are hereby awarded the Self Righteous Post of the Year Award!

Question #1 for you: how do you know what I have or have not donated?

Question #2 for you: why can't you come up with an extra $10K to donate to World Vision? You can, man! After all, I see from your previous posts kaz555 that you are into pelligrino water, fine cigars, espresso coffee, going to the club to work out, and etc. Just think of the money you could save, and in turn the children you could help, if you just drank water from the tap, gave up smoking fine cigars, drank regular coffee, and purchased a few basic dumbells so you wouldn't have to spend money on a health club!

What the hell is wrong with you? You took that as some sort of personal attack. Spend that $10k on therapy sessions or something, did you get picked on as a child? is that why you are so defensive?

All you had to say is that I donated to charity and that would have been sufficient, no need for the sarcasm.

Check this out, standard fee is $100 per session

This obviously didn't work for you.

And you respond by attacking me? I should go to therapy rather than help the children? I'm crushed!

Sorry I hurt your feelings, I sincerely am! I was tweaking you a little. I take issue with the elitists of the world, who think they know what's best for all of us, when they themselves are abject hypocrites.

.

You can spare a few bucks to do both, someone who owns Porsche 911 turbo cab, 599, Ford GT and etc can afford to donate couple dollars to charity, and couple sessions of therapy never hurt anybody. I wasn't expecting someone of your stature to be so uptight and defensive, I was expecting a humble answer rather then a attack.

Unfortunately I only have enough for sparkling Italian water, medium coffee with shot of espresso, cigar here and there. If i had a 599, F430, Porsche 911 turbo cab, Ford GT I would maybe spend that 10k on something more meaningful and stick to driving the FORD GT or the 599, they provide plenty of power.

The title clearly says, "if you had $10,000 to spend to MODIFY"
Stop leading the thread to off topic!

well it appears to be ECU + Exhaust combo is the way to go!

Let the man spend his money on whatever he wants. If he does have that much money to spare I'm sure he already donates to a charity of his choice (not that it's any of our business).

Your right, I retract my comments.

So in this case,

ECU, Exhaust (AWE is not bad choice) thats about 4k.

I just thought that the 599 and Ford GT were already fast as is. 10k isn't gonna make the 911 any faster then those cars.

TheCreditMan,

After all what are we here for bro.

Since your car is a manual, i would also suggest a clutch kit wth a lightweight flywheel. for example ;

EVOMS Stage 2· Clutch AF

BTW, make sure you chose a tuner that would stand behind their products.

Good luck on your mods.
