It took a year, but finally there is some discussion on this topic. Good to see! I posted last July because I had talked with two other RTR members whou were thinking Spec Boxster. Now I know of three or four more who are giving it a think. So let's continue the discussion.
The ideal car for me must have a tight spec to make close racing, large fields and sanctions at many local tracks (from WGI to VIR and Mid-O). At this point high HP, adjustable suspension and downforce are less important, but would be great to have also.
Spec Boxster has a good spec, if not as tight as SSM in SCCA racing. The fields in other regions are very good, but not many around here now. There is good PCA club racing around here, and I like the Porsche guys. So if we can get a number of people to commit to build cars this winter it might be a good class. Maybe we can get a shop to do a group build which might reduce costs and would get us more evenly prepared cars.
The cars are faster than Miatas so they can be good DE cars too, and better balanced than a 996.
Who is interested?
