I agree with everyone, the Boxster S (misclassed IMHO) will lap you in F, E is a much better fit. I love PF pads on my '73 but it's lighter than yours and no power assist. Hated Pagid.

F class is going to be a "Shadow" of itself in 2011. Completely agree on the hp disparities within F, never mind the newer cars with more modern brakes and chassis. Still no excuse for the need for more gas and less brake.

Eventually the F class will mostly consist of Boxster S, C2 and 968s......

If I am not mistaken even Doug Crossman is out of F and he is a very talented driver....... so that tells you something......

Looking forward in racing with all my buddies in E (and D).......

Smart move. E class on the East Coast is going to rock this year. And now you can get in on the Mason Dixon Challenge

GREAT advice on brakes in the above post....Castrol will be a requirement for you, and Pagid Yellows really are up to the incredible heat the much smaller brakes "provide" ;-)
