jaykay,
What are your reasons for considering a 944 track car?
Faster than a Boxster? Nope
Less expensive to build out? Nope. Suspension, cage, safety and reliability mods about the same.
Lower maintenance costs? Nope. Actually might be higher on the 944 over time.

If you want a track car, finding one already done costs about 1/2 of building one yourself. Some just enjoy the build process because they like turning wrenches but it is indeed a black hole for dead presidents. You can find a well worn Spec 944 that was properly done for about $6k where a clean and tight, built Boxster Spec will run $25Kish. After 3 years they might be even money though.
