Will someone tell me what a new 991.2 Cup from PMNA costs? Spares package? I doubt if I could afford the running costs but I am curious nonetheless. Thank you.

A friend who is a top runner in PCA GTA2 has been trying to get a 991.2 cup but IMSA is a non-starter for him... PM sent

and they'll probably have 15 to 30 hours on them, which relative to the 100 hour engine, leaves tons of fun in the car. and it will cost you $200k vs 300k.
and will be setup, all the extras sorted out, etc.

Adding to the good comments already in the thread:
1. Run the car with an experienced team with engineer support. Data and setup are critical on these cars if you want to progress through Pirelli West effectively and avoid beginner-traps / time-wasters.
2. Get comfortable with Pi Toolbox and get used to interpreting/comparing data there. A good baseline saves you tons of trial-and-error before you hit your track.
3. I wouldn't get ABS in your .2 right away. You can easily transition to ABS later, but the opposite is painful. You need finesse with the middle pedal to go fast in any cup car, might as well grab the bull by its horns from get-go.
4. You're doing the right thing getting a 2018 car. 991.2 Cup production stops mid-2019 and 992 Cups won't come until 2021 with the supercup (and some regional series). Thus your 991.2 will have two possibly three full seasons of competitive use ahead--you'd want the car with the least mileage to last that timeframe if your budget permits.
