Some of you guys crack me up.
You take one of the worlds best, if not the best, road car and try to make it into what it's not, a race car. Basically bastardizing a brilliant design.

Hey, it's your money. Do what you want.

But the smart move is to buy a Cup car, be faster and safer than what you will end up with in a modified GT3 and save a bunch of money.
