F33 - track demon???

I am kidding of course but we just took delivery of a 992 Targa yet love our F33 so much we want to keep it. As stupid as it sounds, I don’t want to track my GT3 Touring all the time to preserve it some and thought it would be fun to tune the F33 despite the weight penalty of the HTC. I have already put the MPPK kit on it along with ACS springs...Alpina wheels and some carbon bits. Asking the forum to suggest shocks - steering and other mods that will make this car a really cool sleeper, daily drivable yet capable car on the track - yet not a track car if you know what I mean. I know warranty is a consideration- BUT - is this car rock solid enough to take a flyer on the warranty in exchange for the fun it would be?

Thank you for reading.

The thing to be careful of is whether or not clubs will allow the F33 on track without an additional roll bar since it's a vert.

The F33 is HEAVY too. So finding suspension components that'll work is also a challenge (just because something fits, doesn't mean it's very optimal). The F33 runs much higher spring rates than most of the rest of the F2x/F3x line due to the weight. Your xDrive variant is the heaviest of all the F2x/F3x cars!
