944s2.... perfect solution you can get one for as low as 5k (needing some work but totally worth it if your gonna strip) or as high as 10k.... (perfect interior, but who needs that on a track car?)
Yes some maintence is expensive but lets say you get a 5k car, you have 15k left for parts, TIRES (*see expensive), oil gas, track fees, etc...
No it's not that fastest car on the track, but you sure will have with with its predictability for a "first time track racer"
the base 944=too slow, turbo=expensive to fix/maintain/ S2= FUN!
