just a suggestion, I believe thier is a suspension lift for the front end that lifts the front end via pushing a button. If I recall sharkworks used it on one of thier cars. Looks to be a great set up and have been in chicago and in some of the burbs, the lift kit will come in handy.

True, and I test drove the TT but it was a little heavy feeling and a bit numb to me, more of a GT than what I was looking for.

congrats, you sure didnt waste time 
. so you think the gt2 is dd-able?
i have talked to a couple of GT2 owners. 1 said its too expensive to track and the other said its too rough to street drive?

Depends on your daily route. The heavy clutch would get tiring in bumper to bumper traffic and it'd probably be a headache navigating all the inclines so as not to tear off the lip, but it's definitely doable even if you live in a dense metro area. Where I live there isn't much traffic so I'll probably DD it quite a bit. The ride isn't really that harsh, about the same as my C63 on 20s, actually, and more compliant than the sport setting on the C4S PASM.

My only suggestion is hold on tight! That is one powerful beast and I don't think there are too many things needs to be done except maybe make it lighter which will make the car even more agile. I am currently working with an aerospace engineer for a lot of special custom carbon fiber parts for my Superleggera and I can assure you the quality otherwise I wouldn't put them on my Superleggera. How would you like to have custom made carbon fiber door panel that will match the factory weave pattern as well as lighten up some weights? Congrats again for the lovely GT2.

Congrats again for the lovely GT2. i am guessing you aren't making some cosmetic parts.anyways, i am sure that you notice significant dif coming from NA c4s to GT2. grats!

Actually on the contrary this aerospace engineer has higher standard vs auto industry and the price of that fire wall is only $650.

That's a great price! I may be interested in some carbon bits to drop weight, particularly rear weight, maybe a carbon spoiler or diffuser?
