I'll take his advice because he has a 996 C4S, 996 GT3, 997 Turbo, and 991 C2S. Yeah, he still has all his Porsche's...lol. I JUST WANT ONE! I think he might know a little of what he's talking about. BUT! I agree...I'll have to go drive it myself, but I'm pretty set on a GT3 of some sort.
dont drive the gt3 just yet. i promise you, you will hate your F after that if you are more performance orientated., sad to say. that car it nuts for n/a inline 6 when we are talking about driver feel/feedback.

I say go with Joe Z exhaust($1700), Sikky headers($1300) and Joe Z intake($140) and installation will vary but plan on $700-$900 for headers and around $150 to install the exhaust and intake. These prices are ballpark and not exact. I will now tell u that the search button on this forum is ur friend cause the performance upgrade threads are tapped out

I was thinking the 997.2 C2 would be way more tolerable as a daily over any GT3. If we're talking toys though, I'd much rather a GT3 if I'm not daily driving it.
But back on topic for the OP, I am happy to hear you're not trying to get rid of the car. I understand the motivation of wanting to shut your friend with the CTSV up, but you won't do that with a race. He's faster. Wait til he has to do some major repair, and you've just had to do oil changes and brakes... he'll shut up then, lol.

Man do I wish I had your problems! LOL
"I have 20 grand and I dont know what to do with it" - must be nice...
In any case, if it was me, I would spend the 20k going to a nice family vacation to Bora Bora, but since you are looking for performance upgrades get the following:
Fully adjustable coilover suspension - $3000
Joe Z intake / Exhaust / Sikky Headers - $4000
Apexi Throttle Controller - $300
CF trunk and hood, rear bumper diffuser -$3000
A set of forged lightweight wheels and tires - $4000
Minor weight reduction for whatever money you have left
You'll have a sick daily driver capable of running 11s all day long
