However, with that said. Since, I am keeping my M3 until it falls apart. I am starting my 997 911S killer build.

However I think its gonna cost me alot more than $10k.

Performance Mods So Far (MSRP):

KW Clubsports $3000
Stoptech ST40F BBK $2800
Stoptech Pads $200
ECS SS brakelines $125
BPM Tune $1000
MS Pulleys $400
MR rear section $600

subtotal: $8125

Soon (Next 8 months):
Solid diff mounts $200
AA HFC X-pipe $2300
18" track wheels/Tires (CCW LM20) $4500
Recaro Sportster CS $2800

Expected subtotal $9800

So total of $17,925.00

Hopefully this will get me closer to a 997 911S killer on the track. I eventually want to try to lighten this car up without having to make the inside too naked and make a 997 GT3 fighter.
instead of doing all that, you might be able to retrofit seats into the GT3.
