So, there were some interesting cars around the vicinity of my work today, so let’s see what you all would do with these 4!
Also, no idea on vintages of the BMW or the Porsche, or even really the specific model, so if anyone could provide that info, that’s be fantastic!
Since there’s four, I figured I’d gauge which one you are okay burning and which one you’d be okay having someone else enjoy!

lol never, I’d drop that off over at Livernois for a nice tune.
Money out of the question it would be a tough call between racing the 911 and the Miata, both would become rally cars. I’d probably stick to racing the Miata because parts are cheaper.
I also don’t like either of them lol.

lol.... Money out of the question..... But Miata because parts are cheaper!
I think in the interest of self preservation I’d have to go Miata for racing.
As for that tune, I really need to do that! I also have some catless downpipes sitting in my basement. HNGGGGG!

That particular one has 77k miles on it, so I imagine it’s more like low to mid-$10s.
But if you think low 20's still, that’d be great! Because than I could sell it for what I bought it for 3 years ago.

Well I meant money out of the question for selling one of them. Rally cars break, that’s a reality. Cheaper parts long term is a good thing, I didn’t think to cut that out of the question too.
I like a standard front rear combo anyhow, and people run some pretty crazy supercharged Miata’s in Rally around here that look stupid fun. I’d still go that route.
One of the reasons I bought the Capri is all the mechanical stuff that could break is all Mustang parts that are available/potentially compatible from 79-97. Cheap and very available in Michigan.
"Yowen - not necessarily not spaghetti and meatballs" (yowen)
