RE: Want to turn my Stang into a Porsche 911 Turbo
Just something to consider.You have lots of class options where you won't even see a 911 so why even worry about it. I guarantee you can prep your Mustang to be competitive in a number of classes.
You can do AI/AIX and not see a 911 at all. I don't think 911s are even all that common in T2(but I guess I will find out next year). I mean I see them more in GT1-3...yeah there are some 911s in T2 and I actually saw a 200o or 2001 Mustang in GT1 once. But frankly I findthe well prepped BMW M3s are more likely a threat to a well prepped Mustang.
But if you are looking at a sport bike thats a great outlet too! Have fun no matter what.

RE: Want to turn my Stang into a Porsche 911 Turbo
I wasn't even really too worried about actual racing although there is a place called Summit Point that I want to check out less than an hour from me.
More to the point is whether or not I can build a "supercar" on my budget for a 1/3 of the price of a real one(Porsche 911 TT).
I think what has got me going is that here lately, these damn sportbikes have been running with me(correction...smoking me) and I feel the need for speed...LOL.
The other day, I was stuck in the left lane doing about 70 with a guy on a bike about 2 feet off of my rear bumper(those guys are crazy). Eventually, everyone in front moved to the right lane and opened up the highway for a mile or so. Once that happened, I dropped the hammer and ran her up to 110-120 or so. I don't think the guy on the bike expected it and I saw him falling back. As soon as he realized I was rolling, he got on it, and I watched him come up in my rearview like I was standing still even though I was at 110-120.
So do I drop 20 in my car or spend half of that and go faster?....thing is, I'm thinkin I would kill myself on one of those bikes, haven't ridden anything but dirt bikes and that was in my teens...LOL.
Edit: As far as the gear thing, if I drop from the 3.31's to 3.73's, I go from a potential 207 MPH redline in 5th(yea, I know, maybe with 1000HP) to 183MPH max(10 under the Porsche)...but probably actually achievable with maybe...I don't know...500HP?
Edit#2: Champagne Dreams and Beer Money!!!!(yep, that's me...got plenty of beer money though!)

I figure the guy on the bike can do what he wants (it's his bike and his body), if he wants to tailgate me it's fine, not gonna hurt me.
I just always do the opposite when I'm behind a bike...I stay way back... if he wipes he might live but if he wipes and then I run over him, slim chance
I don't want to be responsible for killing anyone so I give them distance when I'm behind.

Now that's what I like to hear, question is, can I do it with 20 grand in about 2 grand increments?

As for Brakes, check this out:

BTW polytherine bushings and any chassis support piece will help as well.
