Not trying to win. Mostly having fun on track days to improve my skills.I guess what I meant when I said serious was that the E30 or the potential next car can be more dedicated to track events. I dont want it to be a trailer only status.

This is the biggest "con" in the pros/cons list for the E30. It has a great stereo, still has a back seat,etc and I really dont want to gut it out. I dont expect this car to have all the creature comforts, and in fact probably wouldnt have any, but I dont want to gut this car out. I like the car I built the way it is, but know theres more on the table. This is why I feel like I could sell it and get a good chunk of money to put towards the next car. Performance wise, its way ahead of any of the other options.

914s biggest PROs are that I can get a pre-smog car, they are light and I found one that already has the motor I would want for it. It doesnt need as much power as the rest to be fun. The 2270 would be plenty. I could slowly build a 6 for it as budget allows. plus mid-engine!

944s biggest PROs are that they are cheap and plentiful, Spec944 seems fairly popular and I have the engine I would want to use already. downside is that its the slowest car to start with and I would need to get it smog-legal ...-ish ... IF someone would just buy my 944S motor I could scratch this idea immediately.

Boxster PROs are that they are fairly cheap right now to start with, but I fear these would get the most expensive when it comes to modifying. I dream about getting a roller and throwing a 996 motor in it and starting there, but that would already take most of the money I would get from the E30 sale and it would get more expensive from there. However, this would be a car that could stay fairly smog compliant as the 3.6 would be indistinguishable from the 2.5 that would be in that roller. Found a 2002 MY clean title roller, and a 2003 996 motor already

Another option Ive considered is selling both and going all-in on a Cayman. Wouldnt be the best daily, but I could give it a good balance of the two and just have one car.
