Not 100% sure what you are saying, but I'll give you my take. I ran open wheel for years, before I turned the car over to my son when he was old enough to race. I love open wheel racing and a 911 can't compete with it at any level. I decided to run a 911 because they are competive cars (in their class) and look good on the track. Racing isn't cheap. A set of tires for a Formula Mazda is now around $1000 dollars and they last one weekend. I don't mind digging into an engine at all. As a matter of fact I love working on my car. When I don't have anything to do on a race car I get bored.
Taking 30 year old technology on the track has it's draw backs, but if my car could talk it would brag how it once raced at Sebring,Daytona,Homestead,Road Atlanta, before it died, versus others cars talking about how they ran and got a gallon of milk at the store for 50 years. Quality versus quanity I guess. JMHO

p.s. My brother has a '89 911 in showroom quailty so I better stop ranting.
