Warning about the Sharkwerks 3.9 upgrade...
I had the opportunity to drive a friends GT3 with the 3.9 upgrade through the winding NorCal coastal roads. I have to say it was perfection! This car has a close ratio trans and custom Ohlins TTX's. The combination has me plotting to find a way into the same setup.

Don't ever drive one unless you're prepared to take the plunge. You have been warned!

That's awesome but the entire enchilada like you described is a pretty penny.
All components are definitely worth it.
That would be nice to have.

Sharkwerks does some amazing work. I'm fortunate to have purchased an RS that has been tweaked by Alex

On my bucket list as well for my orange 7.1 RS. In the process of getting married and honeymoon in Venice (Italy, not Calif.), but after that, the saving starts!! About $30K, correct?

Bit less as you have some of our parts already but more importantly CONGRATS on getting married! Don't be worrying about the car
