How devastated would you be if you wadded up the 911? How about the Z4? If the answer to either is "not very", then they will make fine track cars. The 911 more than the Z4, I think, but either will work pretty well.

I would be more devastated about the 911 which I have had in my care for over 20 years. However the original reason for buying it was to go to the track as well as fun touring/spirited driving.

The Z4 was originally bought to commute back and forth from work with a much higher fun quotient than the Ford Fusion (aka The Fridge). Not all the clubs I want to do HPDE are willing to let me use my stock Z4 without a roll Bar, 5/6 point harness etc. To do that, I lose the soft top and not in alignment with my plans for a DD type car.
