which pair?

GT3 and keep Jag
911/991 and F conv (355/360/430/3x8/16M).

Going to two car model is not easy for me. Three is ideal: race car, conv, dd. If two is a must, budget needs to be significantly higher: 991, historic but streetable F race car.

 

Used 911 GT2 for DD and track use. Upcoming 911 Turbo would also be just as fast and might have AWD for winter. Keep the Jaguar as the convertible or sell it and get a 355/360 Spyder.

 

360CS and 996/997 Cabriolet

 

Subie STI - daily and winter and track

F430 spider - track and convertible and nice days (could be replaced by 458 if $ permits)

 

Now that I think more about it you could probably keep the jag for weekend cruises and if a GTR is about $90k you could buy a 360 coupe (maybe even a spider) and a STI for the same money or close as the GTR.

 

430 spider and EVO would be a heck of a pair.

 

How about an Abarth for the track and a 430 Spider for the weekend? The Abarth would cost less to maintain and would be cheaper to throw some tires, brakes and some mods onto.

Go look at the 500C, they are airy but don't have the convertible feel.

 

430 16m with possibly some American muscle. Sounds like you like the track so a brand new Boss 302 (Laguna Seca track pack) wouldnt be bad.

 

Track car list:
Ariel Atom 3 (open air like no other! )

Lotus Exige S (has a roof that comes off too)

Dodge Viper ACR (have you seen the prices on those?!)

Fiat 500 Abarth

Cayman R

BMW M3

Daily car list:
GT-R Spec V/Black Edition

Ferrari F430 Spider

991 C2S

BMW M3

Just connect the dots - lots of cool cars out there!

 

I think all those vary in price range, you could also throw in an M6 into that bunch. There are some dealerships around me (2 of the largest Viper retailers in the country) that are still selling the ACR's for $111-$114,000.

Heres a link to one of our dealers. Prices vary from $94-$131,000.

ACR for $90k

 

With a track car it's not just the acquisition. What do tires, brakes, and other consumables cost? How long do they last? For the pace a Ferrari is stupidly expensive.

With a track car IMO the lighter the better.

 

Asking, maybe but I doubt selling. The new 2013 viper has a $99k MSRP. Good luck selling the old car for more

 

Well all those are still brand new ACR's and if someone wanted a cool Viper without spending the same amount as a GTS ($137,000), that would be perfect.

 

Indeed it is, check my previous post above. That's why I suggest the Abarth - wear and tear wouldn't equal as much as a Scuderia. Plus upgrading it wouldn't be nearly as expensive.

Have you looked into the Cayman R?

 

991 S cab.

one stone, multiple birds.

 

I think you answered your own question re: the Scud. if you're already apprehensive about running costs and repairs, you won't track it much and won't enjoy it fully when you do.

Maserati/Cayman could be a great combo. Masers are gorgeous and pretty reliable (from what I hear ), and Cayman is a great value for money with a big aftermarket. may want to consider a C6 z06 for the same reasons.

 

ah, sorry, misread that one.

FWIW if you're used to GTR levels of performance I think you'll be bored with an Abarth quickly on the track.
