Welcome to the board. Since you live in Austin you will have to come out on one of our Fun Runs. You just missed one two weeks ago. Feel free to contact several of us in the area if you want to check any of our cars. Most of us have early cars so there is a good selection. And yes, spirited is a good part of our vocabulary. Lime Creek it is. email for a ride (jnovak @ appliednanotech.net, remove spaces) or call 407-9590.

My first question is whether this will be a daily driver. If not, the possibilities are endless. If you are going to modify the car I would stay away from an early S or E. They are increasing in value. I would also avoid a pristine T as many have been modified with great results.

You may want to look for a mid year car (74-77). These can usually be had cheap, especially if you find own with a basket case 2.7 motor. then swap in the engine of your choice, flares and bumpers and you have an RSR replica with comparitively little investment.

that being said, The 911 will outperform most cars out there in stock form. You should spend money on track time to be able to take your car to the limit and beyond in a safe environment. Once you learn what yours and the cars limits you can start a plan for modifications. Coil overs are complete overkill for a mostly street, occasional track car. If you want them so that you can easily lower teh car (like on a Z) that is not the way. torsion bars are just as easy to deal with.
