Add a full trick suspension to the 997 .
Get Supercharger kit , exhaust system , plenum
and buy the Ferrari .

The Porsche will be faster than your other cars and handle better for the ocasional track days you want to enjoy.
Keeping the 997 and getting the Ferrari was not one of my option, otherwise this discussion would never have come up.... So now I have to semi-race out my 997 I guess....

If you want turn the 997 into a track car, you do not want to supercharge it.

As much as I love P CARS.. If you want a good affordable - easy to drive- easy to maintain track car. You cant beat a E36 M3..

You can purchase a good car from 20-30k.

It will easily be as fast as some PCARS that cost 2x as much.

Replacement parts are cheap in comparison and there are a ton of go fast parts out there.


Here are a few cars that we have run over the years :

Built off of street cars:







2000 and 2001 United States Touring Car Championship winner!!!






X Speed GT Championship winning car.
Turned into a club racing car. BMW Motorsport Chassis


BMW Motorsport Factory Gruppe N spec car.
FAST!!!! Car


M3 lightweight.

You can easily find E36 M3 - or E36 chasis cars for cheap money.


Good fun reliable!! Easy to drive and wont bite you if you make a mistake.



Of course if you absolutely must have a P Car as a track car we can help with that also.
