Arguably you could beat on this thing for a very long time for less than $5k and comfortably drive it back and forth to the track if you keep the stock suspension, brake calipers, don't add a roll bar, keep the OEM size tires etc.

Just making sure OP really wants to throw the kitchen sink at it, with $15k you could pretty much upgrade every component that somebody has billed as an upgrade unless you buy big name on certain items (wheels + BBK + suspension + FI can sail well past $20k if you're determined).
I am a weekend warrior. Yeah, pretty much just don't want the wear and tear on the Porsche. I'm not hell bent on spending a particular amount of money. Just want to get the important stuff tackled up front and know what I am in for ahead of time and understand where the areas that need attention are on this platform for use as a track car.
