Hi All: I'm looking at a 996 Turbo for a daily driver but want to do about 6 track days annually. How is the turbo on the track? For reference, in the past I've tracked a Lotus Esprit V8, Cadillac CTS-V and a Radical SR3. Thanks in advance. Feff

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Fast and fun, but not necessarily the best. Items that I use to make some basic improvments on the fun and safety factor: Race pads (Pagid Yellow and/or Black). Brake fluid (Motul). Sway bars (H&R) to dial out the factory understeer. GT3 front brake ducts for better cooling. CG sealtbelt lock.
I just bought my 01 6TT and ill let you know in a month
They are great track cars. And if you are serious about track work with it do the 2wd conversion and install an LSD.
I tracked mine on standard brakes and they were not sufficient. After a few laps, I had to pull in and let the car cool for 30 mins. I was giving it 99% though, and playing with a few full race GT3's.
Great for chewing up tires once you start going fast
