Shhhss .....I'm waiting 'til she's out for the day, then she won't know I've gone. This is also complicated by the fact that 3 of us in TIPEC NW are planning to build a 944 track car..... She thinks our driveway is going to turn into a Porsche used car lot

A good C2 is commanding high teens + now and for someone who wants one to track and would do a lot of the work already done (cage, suspension, seats, RS style door trims etc ) this is a well priced car. Clearly if you want it back more to standard it's not. If I hadn't just thrown a load of wedge at my 968 i'd be very tempted. |

For a track car why would you start with a top dollar road example? surely you would get your hands on a cat D or worse, with decent mechanicals and go from there I don't think there should always be a correlation between the two. After all you can get a scruffiesh 993 for that money?

If your pockets are deep enough what's not to like? Somewhat nicer than some 'cat D' can of worms, especially if you're after a turn-key racer. Great fun for track days and Sundays in the 'Dales . |

Great fun for track days and Sundays in the 'Dales . Indeed. Even if you could pick up a CAT D etc: Weld in Cage bought and fitted: £2k Corbeau's/runners etc £1k Harness/Steering wheel - £300 Bilstein bought, fitted and set up, minimum £2.5k Strut Brace/Door Trims £500 So even before other work, stripping it, extinguishers etc etc £6k plus........ |

Great fun for track days and Sundays in the 'Dales . Sure if you are after a turnkey racer, and of course if you have deep pockets.....................but there are the majority who's pockets are substantially shallower, and quite enjoy a project. Horses, as they say, for courses |

I'd guess that the OP would be looking at cars within his personal budget. The car in the link would fit within that budget, hence the question - what does anyone think of that specific car? Don't think he's after a 'project'. Tony - it's got to be worth a trip over the Pennines even if it's just to satisfy your curiosity! Pick me up en-route and I'll not tell Joyce... |
