spec944s and spec boxsters are exponentially more expensive than spec miatas. its all the litte stuff, you can get OEM wheels bearings for miatas, for 40 bucks, shipped, and change them out in 30 minutes. a 944 will cost you nearly 10x that for the wheel bearing itself, and at least 4 or 5 times that time. so while the cost of entry might be similar, the cost to actually run a car, the miata will ALWAYS be cheaper.

autocross is different animal. if you are serious or even semi-serious about it, it will require a long examination of the rulebook. what class you want to run, what kind of modifications allowed etc. its a whole weekend of studying if your serious about it. in general the two cars to have in autocross with the current classing setup, is a vette, or a miata.

i can't even imagine the budget required to run a spec944 compared to a spec miata ... its got to be at least double or triple, and your going no faster, and you have even shorter/smaller fields of cars.
