Whatever class is highly active in your area with lots of cars and knowledgeable drivers is usually the best class to run in due to both the support system and camaraderie. Track days should be a blast with 5-6 close rivals you can tell lies and compare notes with. Going out in a class of one can get lonely and sometimes boring while out there kicking your own ass.

I drive a 98 Boxster with mild track prep and she has 100 track days and maybe 200 track hours on the car and motor. The car does have a few weak links but most can be mitigated with a few reliability mods and minor changes in driving style. Smooth shifting, careful downshifts, and avoiding wheelspin on corner exit will result in a very reliable track platform. In 10 years of performance driving with this car I did have to replace the trans once due to driver input error. I allowed too much wheelspin on bumpy corner exits which fried the pinyon bearing. Easily avoided if you know the potential weakness there.
