I am looking into that but most likely this car would like require a truck and trailer. The springs are almost twice as stiff as the Spec Boxster so the ride would be pretty hard.

3.8's are generally not consumable like our beloved 2.5's. This engine would require rebuilding. The big question is: how often? If I could get 100 hours (three racing seasons) between rebuilds, it might be reasonable.

3.8's are readily available but they not cheap (~$15K).
