Haha, nope. One starter Porsche is enough for a lifetime and I have no desire to run street tires again. I think they are mostly on the right track, altho it still looks like an NC/Spyder class to me, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

You don't think the S2000 can compete?

Top-driver and top car-prep and I think the NC (and maybe the Spyder) will be faster. The S2k could win if it had a better driver and certainly could trophy. Of course with new classes, anything can happen, especially since it'll only be provisional to start and not mean much, likely keeping away alot of the top talent and car prep for a while.

I actually like the much maligned MCoupe. Any chance for that car? I remember turning some relatively fast times in one with some really lousy OEM Dunflops.

Where does it say a Cayman is eligible for the class?

LOL, I beat you to the post by 1 minute. Just like in real time when we competed in ASP.

Ouch....
Couldn't a Carrera 3.2 get down to the 2500-2550lbs range with 240 or so HP. Properly setup, would it suck???
I just can't believe an NC is as good as it gets.... But then again, I drive a spec Civie...

I think, on the Carrera, price comes into play but it is an interesting idea...
...don't count out the MR2 Spyder. See the lightness factor that plays into the Civie's hand...
...and I think the funnest local car could be an NB. Light, relatively cheap and you get to use an LSD...

Actually, "look up" wasn't in reference to the order of things in this thread. Not sure how you beat me to the post either. You left ASP as soon as you realized my car wasn't going to continue to break
So you going to build the S2k for STR and prove me wrong?

BMW M cars? The 2.8 cars make sense, but I didn't think the M's would be included.
With the stock catalyst rule, the NC is effectively strangled. The car can only make about 150 rwhp with all stock cats (bone stock is 140rwhp.) MR2 SW20's and Spyder's will be similarly handicapped.
For those with big budgets, a 3.2 Carrera has good potential.
Of the late-model cars, the S2K looks like the favorite.
Hmmm... maybe it's time to find a 240Z.

We're talk 1989 Carrera 3.2's.... I'd think those are relatively cheap compared to STU.
Are people concerned about parts and upgrades?

I may run STR after I run STU. I don't think I can keep up with the likes of Simanyi in the Bavarian bobsled or Max in the dainty MX-5. If you can teach me some of your profound driving skills maybe I'll give it a chance. And, yes, you're right I bailed the class knowing some day you'd have fixed everything there is to break in a car.

Yeah, the Cayman is sweet car.
High up on the list of cars I'd buy post-Lotto win.

How much tire can those old 911's really fit under them though?

They did have a turbo look version with the flares that's got a 4" wider track. But it also weighs 100lbs more.
On the standard car they did have an option for 225's. So, I imagine 255's with fit, but I was curious of the same thing.
