Generally, you'd be better off in a Spec Boxster. There are fewer and fewer 944's to race against while there the Spec Boxster classes are growing. And a Spec Boxster is faster than a 944 on the track.

Fun car. I have never owned one but I spend a lot of time in the right seat of various 944spec cars. NASA has by far the largest racing car counts and there are about 30 active 944Spec cars in SoCal. Comparable cost and lap times to Spec Pinata. Like any car, look for one that is well maintained and cared for with all the basic build and reliability mods done.

Yeah I am with you but we are behind the times up here and Boxsters still command a high price.....didn't really want less power but I was told it will really make me work.....not many Boxsters on track here
