We plan to put the 993 up for sale when it is ready, but will drive it until it sells (hopefully quickly).

Since I am not paying the crazy asking money for 6GT3, and Carolyn does not want to drive a Vett at PCA DEs, my thoughts are a 99 996 C2 would be the way to go. My only reason is that it has no electronic driving aids (except ABS) like PSM/TC, etc. which is a requirement. I admit that I do not know anything about 996 except that 2000 MY C2 got eGas (I think that is what is called), but not sure when TC became standard.

I think a street registered care with working a/c that would be capable of 1:23 or better lap times at SP needs the following:

Club-Sort "A "Kit Suspension Tarett
GT3 seats Porsche
Seat mount and slider Porsche ?
Bolt-in roll bar ?
LSD Guard
Harness Sparco FIA Endurance
Wheels OZ
Oil Sump Baffle Tarett
wheel Studs Tarett
Semi-solid engine mount Wevo
Deep Sump Kit Tarett

The suspension kit includes JRZ double adjustable and some GT3 bits, but keeps many of the rubber bushings. What am I missing or could I use Bilstein PSS10 and ala cart suspension to get to the same end?
Sounds like you will be around $40-45k all in? What is your budget? Looks like there are plenty of decent 996s out there but I'm not seeing many w/ track mods. I'd also consider an E46 M3.
