Oh and be sure to ask Dr Jitsu about the first race we had or should I say the first 5 races we had.I got so bored winning that I let him win the last time just because I felt bad about beating him so many times.Plus Todd asked me to "please let him win so he will quit calling me".Oh and by the way nothing in life is for free the faster you learn this the more money you will save.
nice!

Damn Guys
I'm a total Noob here and I gotta admit that you guys are a tough crowd. I hope it's not about a pissing match on how much you spend on a certain mod but how much you actually gain. I wonder if any of you ever heard about indexing your spark plugs

in any case, it costs money to mod these babies correctly.

this is so funny i think i peed a little!
And are you truly committed to being a genuine *******...because it takes hard work and discipline. If so, I will mentor you.
Here is what I want you to do for your first assignment: PM this guy PaulieWalnuts https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/member.php?u=8758
In the PM say this "Hey, I saw your yellow GT2 on Youtube racing another GT2, I think it was silver...man your car is bad ***. I know you lost to the silver car, but I heard that he was a way better driver and had 30K in mods. Your car only has 15K in mods....and I also heard that you are like, really old so the race wasn't really fair. Anyway, who did you mods? I want to get them for my car."
Do that, young grasshopper, and we will open our arms to you.

There are plenty of cheap mods:
Killer detail. Strip, buff out all paint defects, sealer/wax. Tires off, detail wheel wells. Underbody detail.... the list goes on.
SSK. 997 stock shifter is a very nice shortening compared to 996's stock. $120 if you find one used
Wiper delete. $30
Exhaust mod (Hole drill), Free (Unless you don't have a holesaw in your shop)
When you buy new tires go to 235/315s
What else?....
Congrats!

530-600 hp is available for about 6k these days if you look hard enough and want to DIY
K24's
ECU
Exhaust
DV's
But not many people doing lighting mods like they do on the M's. And even trim packages cost alot.
Guess what, even the rubber headlight trim costs $75. So if you screw somethingup trying for the inexpensive free get up, you could likely end up where it's not so inexpensive. Spray painting the wheels yourself, you had better know what you're doing.
And I think some of the OP's responses were uncalled for.

yes....North Ark is stunningly beautiful and Branson MO is like a PG rated Vegas.... People are shocked at how cool it is when they go there. It is a far cry from the hillbilly capital it once was.
And babygirl, we were kidding about spray painting your car. Only a complete idiot would do that. And speaking of losers, you are lucky we don't give rep points here anymore....you would be in the red. When you want to compare lifetime achievements, just let me know and we will see just who is the winner/loser.
By the way, Paulie is, as we speak, off watching sweaty men cover themselves in oil and flex their muscles.
