These images were burned into my retina years ago - they pop up every time I hear "Ferrari 360 Modena."

The 911 GTS is likely faster than the F 360.

The turbo idea is kind of enticing - maybe buy a .1 C2S in good shape and make it into a turbo coupe?
How much delay is there from the turbo? Does it make the car more difficult to control on the track, or less predicatable than NA?
What about torque and power off the line? Will it chirp the tires? Did you also replace the clutch and flywheel?

What about a TCP or VF Engineering supercharger instead of a turbo?

Would you not be better off trading your car for a 2007 Turbo or buy it and keep the cab at this point?

If you are debating whether to get a GT500 or a ZO6, and you are basing your decision on handling dynamics/all-around performance, there should be no debate here: your choice should be the Z06.

Shelby GT500 = muscle car for the street that you could take to the track

ZO6 = A lightweight street legal race car meant for the track.

See the difference?

Boosted Josh is infamous around these parts
The 2013 GT 500's are hugely powerful putting down completely stock 615rwhp and with minimal mods hitting the 9's at 144 mph in the 1/4.

But it's not a car that I'd buy to do track days with. It is one that would be a ton of fun to play with on the street though.

A C6 Z06 would be a much better car if you were wanting to take it to the track. Plus a very nice one can be bought for 40K. A new Shelby is going to cost you 20-25K more.

If You want crazy power could also look into a C6 Grandsport which can be had in the 40's also. It's pretty much a Z06 body but uses the LS3 instead of the LS7 that's used in the Z06 and would be a better candidate to supercharge or turbocharge.

I've never driven a F360, but after driving many Porsche's, you won't beat the pedal placement for heel-toe on a 911.

If you're looking for more of a kick in your seat from your Cab, please take a look at our VF475 supercharger system. 475hp and 370ft/lbs tq!!
https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...75hp-911s.html

Everything is completely bolt-on and requires no modifications. We also warranty our items for 1-year or 12k miles.

Really?!?

I find the 997 to be the absolute hardest car to heel and toe. Those German engineers and test drivers must have crooked feet, because the brake pedal very very high.

Not much at all, drives very naturally aspirated. Doc can answer better but the power comes in very linear, unlike a lot of turbo systems, so no surprises. Makes it very predictable. Read my sig, plenty of power and torque off the line. Yes, it will chirp the tires. I have AWD so plenty of traction. No, still stock clutch. Trust me, you will love it, the speed is intoxicating, speed on it and it goes.

Yes, once you're really heating the brakes up on the track and fade starts to occur the pedal drops into the perfect spot. On the 993, the pedal is already at the right spot when its cold, but unfortunately I've never been able to drive a 993 that hard to see if the brakes start to fade.

Even then, they must have crooked feet because the clutch in the 993 is where the gas pedal is in my M3 lol
