In this case, though, its super easy. The goals are "low key" and "airstrip HP"
The 911T is *so* clearly the answer its nuts.
997.1T, Mezger engine, stick... Huge HP easily. Blends in. Not so insanely expensive.
I have a friend with an SC R8 V10 and its a terrifying and insane car, but it was super expensive to do that, it's a pretty complex proposition, and it attracts massive attention.

Thx for all the good tips guys I really appreciate it.
One thing that will make a difference as well is that the transmission will require to be shifted from the steering wheel. I'm not giving up on MT's entirely as I have another car with an MT that I drive sometimes but after tracking/racing with the DCT, I love the balance at the track (shifting mid-corner, etc) and the acceleration with a higher HP application is just undeniable.
So an older 996 is out unfortunately. That certainly would have been the best cost-effective option. I need to look into how much HP the PDK can handle. Doing an trans build for 1,000 HP sounds very expensive and may not even be possible at the moment. I have seen the vids of the UGR R8 V10 with the DCT so it looks like that trans is capable of handling the power.
