Said local 944, assuming Chris is talking about the black S2 being sold by the Peachstate CDI is a well sorted car that has just has been gone over to make sure all issues are sorted out. I think he posts here as db944? Would certainly recommend looking at it.
Oh, and Jenk, whatever you do, don't get a turbo.

Thanks guys, yea it would've been nice to had a tad bit more power. There was another sp2 car there that was an '89 with the 2.7 liter and even if I got a better run out of the corner he would pull away quite easily. I was in a an '86 2.5L

i had the opportunity to rent a 944 sp2 car and get my racing license for pca at CMP this weekend. this is my 1st race ever and 1st time ever driving a 944 as well as never driving a car without power steering or ABS. my only goal was to finish the races without incident and stay out of the way, especially our own ZBB0730 aka Roger. here are just a few laps of me being to keep up and watch these guys battle a little bit, even stuck my nose in there once in a while. had a blast racing and look forward to more of it. even did a 90min enduro and felt great getting out the car after that. must be the spin classes ive been doing lately with the wife

Congrats and welcome to the dark side!
Straightline speed is overrated!!! You'll be in a Spec Miata before you know it....... LOL
Enduros can be a lot of fun, great way to learn a new track and get valuable seat time.

Great job Michael and great to see you again!
Very smooth driving and perfect execution of the kink. Not a lot of people get the kink right. You can get a min speed of 98+ through there by getting it right and gain a second on most.
Welcome to the world of momentum! You can do your taxes on the back straight at Road Atlanta with these cars.

Mitch Richard is also the National 944 Cup Champion this year and would pull away from most other 2.7L's as well. Great car, great driver.

He won the race but I did get him on fastest lap I had no idea if he was really pushing since there was no one there to compete with him besides me in class

Great news Michael. I love seeing folks move from a fast car to a slower one like you did. I should have done that when I started.
Bring a car to TWS in March for our club race. You know the track already and it is a great event. If you go SP1 I would guess we will have 8-10 cars in class.
