But when it comes to the car, I don't want to 'capture the essence' of a bygone era. I want to do exactly what they did in that era -- race the piss out of my Porsche.

Jack, your last sentence says it best. But FWIW, Cindy and I just spent this frigid (45 degrees) Orygun day in my unheated non air conditioned two car garage, washing, waxing, (closed the doors & plugged in an electric heater so the wax would dry enough to buff) and otherwise detailing my "S". You see, my income won't allow me $100 plus track day entry fees....or a car to participate in such activities.
So, count me among the poor guys...just happy to own such a car, the one I have, purchased over 30 years ago. Paul
