The 911 is your only choice between the 2. If you can’t afford to walk away from it after a track incident, it has no place being on track.
Don’t discount the miata (like I did). I’ve now done several endurance races in them as a ringer driver and these have become my favourite track car. There is the line, and then there is the miata line...

Hi Harry,
I've appreciated your many exprienced posts and advice.
I am about to finish the restomod on my fathers 74 coupe and plan to get it to the track for DE events as soon as i can. Thunderhill is 5 hours away, so i can only afford a few events a year.
To your question, i would enter the relative safety of the event/course into the calculation as to which car to run. The riskier track, (lots of guard rails, higher number of drivers in your run group and the intensity of the event, (DE or the more intense"track Day").
Personally, i opt for the less intense DE events to just have fun. I have prepped the suspension, brakes and wheels on an old ferrari 308 tfor the track, that cost more than twice my dad's 74, when new,but i am looking forward to getting it out to thunderhill to test my upgrades and have fun. I accept that risk. Dad's car means a lot to me, I have sidelined the 308 for 10 years, while doing the restomod to dad's car.
Hope to meet you at the track,
chris
