I do want cross-country reliability and tire wear.
I also intend to drive the car to work and to the store.

It’s the spirit of the GT3RS that I’m looking to capture. A track car disguised as a street car. Savage enough to put down good lap times, refined enough to drop off a kid at school.
Attaining an outright comparable level of performance will be a huge challenge financially. But scaled down proportionately to the age difference seems (at least in theory) plausible. “If Porsche made a GT3RS in 1979, it would be this.” is what I’m trying to wrap my head around.
If you want affordable power you need to build a EFI turbo car. To reproduce turbo power NA is BIG $$$$$.
My Turbo will accelerate as fast as the RS upto about 90. Then that 8K redline in the RS takes over.
But I have about $15k in mods to the 3.3 to get it to do that. If I ditched the CIS and went EFI there is another 100hp hiding in there.
But the 930 has plenty of power as is and I like the fact I got a CIS car to perform this well. There is something cool (to me anyway) about making 40year old mechanical technology perform.
