There are usually a few 944 spec and/ 944 cup cars for sale on NASAForums. A 944Spec car can run in 944Cup (and can win even in Mid-Atlantic where 44Cup is strongest). 944Cup cars generally cannot run in 944Spec. If I was you, I would look for a car that would be competitive in Spec/Cup/Supercup and GTS. That way you can possibly run in 2 run groups at one event or rent to a second driver for the second run group to defray your costs.

944 Spec Cup cars can run in the new Driving Impressions Pro It series. Its a great new series that is attracting a lot of attention by many clubs. They are big in the NorthEast right now, and look like they'll be growing to other regions soon!

Greg-
Are you going to the Potomac event @ VIR in Sept?
We can run together if you want to see what a 944 SuperCup car is capable of ( Assuming a decent driver HA!).
My car is built to SuperCup specs but just needs a second door bar and net.
I'm instructing in Black if you want to go for a ride (and its allowed...) look me up (#81) Who knows I may be ready to sell mine when you want to buy one

Eddie:
Thanks for the offer. The only way we will "run together" is if I'm in your passenger seat! Otherwise, I will be shrinking in your rear view mirror.
I am not going to VIR with PCA. I will be going to the Audi Club event at VIR in mid-November. I hope to see you at an event in the future, and you can certainly keep me in mind when you're ready to sell.

Sorry, I didn't mean to spark up an old debate. I did briefly look into 944 Cup, but I think Spec 944 is more what I want. I'm looking for a very budget minded, simple to run series. My dad raced SCCA for years, so I well know that simple and budget are relative terms. Spec 944 just seems a little easier on the wallet (if you want it to be anyways) and a little easier because it takes a lot of the guess work out of the car. So this is which is better, this is which more suits my needs! Thanks for all the great advice and links.
