buy this s2k, you should be able to take the gt3
i believe "streetable" & "outperform a gt3" is an oxymoron. just to get your s2k to beat that in a straight line would require mods that would increase the decibals of daily driving to race mode, otherwise unbearable for a street car. like the other guy said, possible, but not worth it, and from the sounds of it, not going to meet your requirements of a steetable car.
why am i replying?

As others have already mentioned, an SC would help you in the acceleration/speed department. Suspension - whatever is custom, as pp have already mentioned any of the high-end custom ones are custom sprung and valved to suit your needs, including a streetable setup that would perform well at the track.
You seem to be very picky on keeping the mods the "same" as the GT3, but you don't allow a BBK. The GT3 essentially comes w/ a BBK stock (6pot monoblock front calipers and 4pot monoblock rears). Why not allow the S the same type of brakes? It'd only be fair and would fit in line w/ your "same as GT3" theme.
Also, for wheels, if you want wide, go custom 18x10 w/ the appropriate offset and you can run 285 or 295/30/18s in the rear w/o affecting your FD or speedo/odo.

that list you have would do the trick just fine. lighten the car, add suspension, blower and standalone. and you would have to have BBK, cause you now have 18s, leaving all that room, and your gonna have to be able to stop as good as the gt3. it could be done with quite a few of the members cars that are already on here. have you not seen all the vids, of the guys waxing 360's and porsches on tracks all over the world? anyways. my .02

first off, why the hell would you want your S to be like a gt3? the reason I like the s so much is because it's not like so many other cars out there. and for the price of an s, you get alot for your money. to me porsches are over rated and way over priced. i cant tell you how many times i see porsches being towed. i see that all the time on the turnpike. to get it neck and neck with a gt3 will cost more money than its worth. also your list of parts you want and dont want is shit. common, gimme better stuff to work with here. plus, have you really done your homework on the s? do you know all the parts out there for it? find out everything on the gt3, like compression, materials used to make the major engine components, curb weight, what comes factory, horsepower, displacement, torque, weight distibution, grunt to flab, etc,etc. I mean come on, its an s vs a gt3. that would be like me with a stock s trying to run a z06. thats just plain stupid. use you head , do the research, and then comeback with a better list of parts. and you should if money is not that big of a deal. oh by the way, screw the ride softness. if you cant get used to it drive something else.

yes because the BBK will increase your braking distance.
I would want the s2k to ''outbrake" the gt3.

Like this quote from my original post:
"Of course this is all speculation and in good fun. Just dont ruin this thread with posts saying that investing this much in a s2k would be a waste.
