$20K seems a little on the light side to be competitive .... thanks Jim.

to take a c2 and make it a clb racer is no less than 20-25k.I've done it twice.Very painful.In terms of what class is best for a 964 c2,E.As someone stated,you stll have to run at weight(3130) if your in d or e class.
the best car for d class is a 964 cup or a 944 rothsman turbo cup. If you want a great car for not a lot of cash Ed Smith is selling an 87 coupe .this is a great car and fresh!It runs in e class(chip,wing,ring and pin, and big brakes) 1.00.003 at limerock 212.57 at the glen. could easily be made to run in f class as well

Ron S had easily 60k + in his E stock C2 and it's worth about 40+ when your done.You can have a 964 cup Euro or US for slightly more . There is a huge difference in handling.
I would never build a stock race car again. Buy a factory car like Jim N suggests. The 964 cup parts are cheap compared to the 993's and 996's Come race with Burger and I in GTC 1. high 58's @ LRP, 2:07's @ W Glen.
Come play. Regards R Scotto

I agree with all the comments regarding a Euro Cup Car purchase. I considered many options prior to buying my '92, but felt that the best fit was a genuine factory built race car. Unless I completely wad it up, I can sell it 5 years from now for the same $$$, if not more.

Ron, are you keeping your 964cup or did you sell it?

Thanks for the invitation. Sounds like you guys are having a lot of fun. I initially wanted to get something cheap and spend time working on it (just spent a lot on the GT3) but maybe I'll wait till 2006 and seriously look for a 964 cup car. Problem is I really want to start racing again this coming year (not the GT3 though). Even got my PCA license renewed. You happen to need a co-driver for any enduros?

Larry,
I'd take Bob's advice !! You can park 65k in a nice 964 Euro Cup and get your money back when you are done. The best part though would be getting to run with the incredible drivers now in GTC1.
