Elizabeth,
PCA club racing follows a different format. Racing is wheel to wheel and there is recognition for placing "podium" , but the rules do not allow contact. Contact between cars is penalized with a 13month probation and another incident means 13months of non-racing. The purpose is to allow competitive events within classes, but limit the act of "punting" or blocking by minimizing the gain of actually winning to little more than bragging rights.
As far a 993 Cup VS a 993 stock car. Big differences to had in performance and upkeep. I run a class D stock 993 with only suspension improvements. Cup cars require alot more upkeep and certainly offer a multitude of improvements in power, gearing, weight reduction, suspension, brakes, etc.
I would suggest your husband attend a club race to see how it is run and decide what direction he wants to go as far as a car. Best advice is to buy someone elses efforts with a campaigned log book. The investment for even a stock car to be class ready is alot of money and you never see it back.
