SPC and SPB and probably the best entry level "bang for your buck" platforms out there. That being said, SPB is probably the most competitive class out there, and I bet SPC starts to catch up.

You'll grow up quick among some really good drivers if you go into either class but they are not noob classes. Some of us just don't have the silver spoon hanging out of our posterior to buy a GT4.

Nothing more expensive than a cheap 944!

IMO SPB is the best class to start out in, donor cars are cheap and can be tracked while you are building the car up to learn the platform. Entry into a Cayman S will set you back thousands more and the engines and transmissions cost close to double what the little 2.5L Boxster does from a salvage yard. Add to that the ultra-large race groups in SPB and you will always have someone to race regardless of your skill level. 944's used to be the entry but from what i'm being told a good full engine rebuild can meet or surpass an air-cooled 911's cost (over $15k).. and they are all getting quite old now..

The Delivery date from DBA Australia has been delayed AGAIN!.... I should know better by now.

They informed me today that the completion date is now end of March with a arrival date of April.

Now that said, I am arranging to AIR Freight several rings here to Satisfy your pre orders.

I apologize for the great inconvenience this has caused. We will work hard too make this delay right with all of the pre order customers.

Regards,
Chris Whaley
