Good suggestion. I think I will get way, except for the Recaros. They are not a option for the base GT. You need to go Premium to get them.
I agree 20K may not give everything but will cover most of it. Also remember that everything you take off the car you can sell to help with the aftermarket...
Thanks. I am settling for a base GT, Manual with PP and build from there. It will give me Brembos, nice handbrake to play with, spoiler and the LSD 3.73, which is a pain to change later. The added cost of the PP is much lower in reality when you get some of the discounts.
