Like everyone else said, get yourself a GT3 if it's DE only. If you plan to race, an RS America is the perfect car.

I just can't keep putting this strain on the car. She's not happy. My friend might fly me up for the event. Otherwise, no car.

I'm obviously biased, but have you looked at Spec Boxster?

I happened to tech that car at the grid and I asked him if Hertz was monitoring him on the GPS system??? He did not know but it would be interesting to know some companies are charging for exceeding the speed limit and I suspect he was in excess of 70mph a great deal of the time.

Smile 944 Spec

Cheap and fun...there is a national Spec Series...cars go for about $15,000. There is one for sale in Paso Robles, CA...fully sorted out and ready to go.

Boxster Spec is also big, but these puppies are about $40,000 out the door...very quick cars.

+1 on the Lou-mobile, that's a very well equipped car.
But with you might need a smaller seat!

After thirty years with old technology..914-6, I moved to the 964....wonderful car. Still has the original 911 look, great 3.6 liter air cooled motor..real heat and air and defrost..Great brakes. Never pay for the RSA VIN number..buy at 1990 or 1991 C2...Can not go wrong. Best buy out there...

Our shop Paddock Motorsport has many 944 race cars for sale. 951's & 944S2's. We currently have a very well sorted 87 944S with ABS. The advantages of the 944S is the weight 2650 with driver. Less wear on tires, brakes, etc. This particular car took 2nd place at the NASA nationals last year and is listed on Rennlist.
