Not trying to start trouble here, but I have to seriously consider a 964.

I have a very well sorted 81 SC - 62000 Miles.

By well sorted I mean everything that gets worn has been replaced or rebuilt

Tranny
Shocks
Bushings
Brakes
SSIs
Bearings
Tie Rods
Plug Wires
New 7&9" Fuchs
Guages rewired professionally ( ouch)
Etc Etc

As I sit here again looking at the project budget I continue to wonder if I should bite the bullet and just buy a newer car.

I use the car for 80% street and 5 or so DEs a year.

To finish the project list of
Torsion Bars
3.6
Sway Bars
Seats
Oil Coolers

On and on

Will run in the range of $15 - 17,000. When I'm done do I have a car as good as a solid late model 964. I'm looking at this from a purely performance position ( not looks or feel). The one obvious upside are the airbags and rear seat belts. Not for the track, but daily commutes. I figure my car plus $10K gets me into the 964.

I would prefer a 993, but truly well sorted examples are not within my price range.

Plan B

Finish the suspension and safety equiptment ( seats, DAS roll bar) - and live with the 3.0 power a few more years. It's not like I'm able to drive the wheels off this thing yet.

I'm looking to get some input from those who have been there SPENT that. Sorry for the rambling, but I'm am down to ordering parts or trading the car in the next couple weeks to be ready for this years track weekends.

Thanks
