Just a heads up for fittment, many of these RSS bits fit anything from a 99-2008 996/997/cayman/boxster.

C4S and turbo are hit and miss because of their unique suspension.

A Yukon will easily pull an open trailer with a 944 or 911 on it.. I would seriously consider a low HP car to learn in for both the economy of it and the lack of "nanny interference". There are lots of cars out there for sale, fully or partially set up for the track. Buying a car built for a specific race class leaves that door open for you should you want to go that route later on. A hotrod car (like an SC with 3.6, there is a beautiful one FS right now for about $22K) is a fun DE car but that's it.

I see a 993 in my near future and an enclosed trailer.... I just love the 911 chassis.

as soon as you make a commitment to a trailer - there are no more limits left and if you go down that road there tons of options - spec ford for example or any other open wheel cars. 911 chassis is not the only one car out there.

i would love to run in something like that, it is a lot of fun.

Well Have I got the car for you, ready to go...
