To add my 2 cents. I would go for a 944. The 944 spec series looks like a blast. As with ANY Porsche you need to keep up on preventive maintance to keep the big $$$$ problems from happening. The cost of a 2.5L vintage race motor is well more than the cost of a whole 944 today. Having owned a 951 and 944 in the past, I do not think the it will cost more that a 911 to race. The few things that can go bad are the water pumps and front A-arms, Timing Belt. Sure, some tranny problems can happen (911's too) but you can find a ton of 944's at the junk yard (do not go to Parts Heaven). The 951 would cost a bit more however. The 951 is still my favorite "Bang for the Buck".
Look for a 944 already completed for the series. I have seen them for the $10k to $15k range ready to race.
