Upgrading your car - the most extreme ever?

[anonymous-user]

Just left Castle Combe after a brilliant day with Bookatrack in my 968. Met a guy there with a hot Audi TT which he had spent £150,000 upgrading as ultimate track car. Yep - £150,000! £21,000 went on a purpose made brake set up. Race engine, lightweight bespoke seats from Recaro, unobtanium cage etc etc.
Mike - you have still got some way to go with your GT3...
The mind boggles.

PS and before you ask, no it didn't leave us all in its wake. Obviously needs more upgrades to blow a 20 year old EMC prepped 968 into the weeds.

If you were spending £150k on the 'ultimate track car' then surely a TT wouldn't be the obvious starting point?

[anonymous-user]

Oh - and the car was new out of the showroom at just under £50k - so nearly 200k in total.

Precisely. I had to read it back to make sure he meant Audi TT and not 996 Turbo.

Absolutely lunacy.

That is utter madness. An Audi TT of all things to spend a total £200K on!

Of course, the TT driver could have been stretching the truth with his figures

I smell bullst

[MadMark911]

Or was the owner just an idiot?

[anonymous-user]

He was telling everyone - but can't verify figures.. Dad turned up to watch him in a new Bentley.
Oh, how the other half live...

[correct]

so was he a crap driver, or got ripped off with his mods

any pics or more details of the car?

[all2ofme]

I'm at £65kish with my mk1 996 GT3. Reasonably idiotic.

I do it to make Mike feel better

Tuners probably saw him rock up in his Dads Bentley, rubbed their hands together and then proceeded to take the TT owners eyes out.

it's possible to massively improve your TT with 150k budget: Trade it in for a gt2rs
