Bill,
You're right. I shouldn't really glaze over the cable shift part of it without accounting for the cost. The conversion can be done with components from Brandwood for just shy of $1000, so that does need to be factored into the cost of going the GT3 route in a 993.
The cup gearing would be fabulous on a 993 street rod. I feel that any time you go taller than 3.00 on first gear in the 993's you are just stressing the system too much if it's a street car. On a track car it doesn't matter so much, but for anyone who's got to deal with stoplights and stopsigns, it's a pain. The cup's 3.154 1st is a good balance point.
