As I have already said Scott, it would be really nice to have a 911 racing car - but I can not justify the cost for that. So a 944 racing car it will be...
I did some (bad) calculations last night, and I was ending up with the cost between build and purchase to be the same. My justification was that if I purchase one that is already a racing car, it will probably need some work and upgrades that will cost.
If I get a nice road car that has been mechanically looked after, I can recover some money by striping it out and putting all the "comfort" parts up for sale.
A ready 944 racing car in good condition over here will cost me close to 80000SKr. A good 944 road car will cost me maybe 30000SKr. Then all the work to get it track ready will put me in the 80000SKr point + I will know the car much better.
Again, I could be very wrong (I have been know to be at times), but it looks like build is the best option at the moment
