I was at Porsche North Houston the other day and they have a 2003 GT2 with 30 something k miles on it that they picked up. Rodger Gay said he thinks it has every option that was available in 03. I wasn't about to walk out there and get near it but it sure looked inviting.
The car is under 100k
Hey Red! How are ya? Thanks for thinking of me. Not interested in a GT2 though - that turbo lag & everything. It's too expensive a car to track and that's what I'm wanting - a track car. Actually, after today (first day of the 3-day Maverick Region PCA Club Race & DE!), I'm ready to build a spec Boxster & club race! Really. Just worried about not satisfying my GT3 urges.
When ya coming out again?

After this weekend's Mavericks Region club race/DE at Eagle's Canyon, I DEFINITELY want in!!! Trying to decide which route... getting a LOT of feedback that says spec boxster is the way to go. They were very impressive in the races. The 1st thing folks say about club racing is you have to be able to "walk away from the car". Don't know if I can spend a bunch of money on the CS and drive it with the notion that it may be a scrap heap the next day. I KNOW I can't do that with the GT3... Would LOVE to track one as I do the CS but now that I'm looking at club racing...
Sorry to take y'all on the roller coaster that has become my driving obsession... welcome to my world. My mind's going a thousand different directions. But this I KNOW, and I know for certain: I love driving the heck outta cars and can't wait to go wheel to wheel.

Not that you would care but I was thinking similarly this weekend. I have decided I want to get into club racing. Havent decided on what car I'd run (its not going to be the Cayman thats for sure, but I want in. Watched a bunch of videos of races on my home track - and man is it tempting!
You have to go through the rollercoaster thought process to figure out what you really want. GT3 HPDE or clubracing. Tough choice! But I think clubracing will make you a better driver and you can always get a GT3 later.
For those thinking about getting started in wheel-to-wheel racing (caygirl & afridi), I urge you to take a long hard look at spec miatas. They are inexpensive, plentiful, fun to drive, and there is a huge nationwide racing community with ultra-competitive races. A good car should not be hard to find.
Start with a common, inexpensive car. You will bang it up!

Thanks! That is what I was thinking. Spec Miata or even the NASA spec BMW 325.

I was about to post the same thing, but you beat me to it!

Ditto Fort Felker's suggestion. To the Spec Miata, Spec BMW 325, if you want to stay in the Porsche Camp, there is also a growing Spec 944 group. Racing does present a considerable risk of banging the car up. You either repair it yourself, or find a "team" whole work with you and support keeping the car on the grid, or a workable combination of the two. You might also consider trying something like the Skip Barber MX-5 series, where you can arrange to lease a car on an arrive & drive kind of basis. Last, FWIW if you really, really want to jump in the deep end of the pool, Russell offers the same kind of thing in a Lola built FJR-50. An absolutely freakingly awesome piece of machinery if single seat, carbon fiber tub, high downforce experience is your bag. Roughly the equivalent of a Formula Atlantic, maybe even faster or certainly could easily be made (just turn up the boost and take off the "school" slicks and put on a really sticky set of tires) a lot faster. An amazing experience to go through. Heads & shoulders the best staff of coaches/instructors from a "racing" perspective that I've experienced as well ~ I guess they kind of have to be when you see the car. IMO some of the best instructional &/or seat experience money you can spend on yourself.
