Dont forget to talk to GIAC (Garrett Lim and company)...you can research their stuff at AWE Tuning.

I'm partial to TechArt for the newer Porsches.

just doing some homework for my GF's dad...
so you need to send your car to RUF to get their work done....
thx for the suggestions.

Techart for the body, VF-engineering/Orton for some extra power, and your usual suspects for suspension would be my picks

Remember back a few years ago AutoThority came out to the Car & Driver Supertuner Challenge with a 700hp Porsche?

Tried to find the link...found AutoThority's webpage:

http://www.autothority.com/

Oh here is the link:

Price as tested: $211,556. Hahahhhahahahaha. Wow. I'm not sure that's what the OP had in mind!

Weird that this thread is up, today. I spent the afternoon trying to decide whether or not to buy a cayman s to mod over a long period of time. The techart widebody cayman is so beautiful and ugly at the same time

Reviewing the Autothority page...seems like they offer a number of chip upgrades...for non-turbo cars the prices are little more attainable.

That included the price of a brand new 996TT, at the time $120k or so. You can find the car for half that now. Odds are the previous-generation mods are cheaper as well.

I agree that this isn't what the OP had in mind, though - he specified a 996 C4 targa.

As I said above...they have chips for non-turbo applications which are cheaper (but accordingly produce rather modest results).
