I know this is a minority thought here.. but honestly, the aircooled 911 motors are so damn reliable I think you might want to investigate BoxsterSpec racers and others and ask about engine issues. Sure, some will say you can get a new 2.5 for only a few K.. but it sure it a heck of a way to kill a weekend.

What exactly is getting more expensive? It would seem to me developing a car like the Boxster for sucessful racing in any venue would be even more expensive as there are less "tried and true" experiences out there.

Racing is NEVER cheap, unless you get a dedicated spec racer like, say Spec Racer Ford for example.
