I don't own one but have driven a couple of DE purpose built ones: they don't qualify for spec class for any of a number of reasons, but they're a blast to drive. Are you looking to race it or just DE it? If the latter, they can be built pretty cheap and still outperform our cars , or at least my 01 base 986. I've got one on order (in planning actually) Don't know much about a true spec 944.

Or are you asking about a streetable 944 that you can take to the track? There are quite a few of those around the midwest and seem to be mostly issue free. As issue free as a car that old and with that many miles on it can be. If you're a wrench at all they are not that complcated to work on either.

They can be a lot of fun and quite fast with the right setup. Have fun with the search
