You seem to enjoy track time more than "speed itself", an important distinction. It seems to matter more to you to get the most out of your vehicle than get the most vehicle.
Because of this it may not matter what the vehicle is, and this makes rental karts an excellent option.

yes that is a good summary of my mindset, I like cornering, technique, working on lines - speed per se, meh... Rental karts are cheap, not maintained by me, no need to insure, but it would appear I'll need a driving suit/gloves/boots, a HANS device and a different helmet... Those are serious go karts, not the garden variety city-event karts. I need to check pricing on rentals - but it looks fun ! I'm also no longer a skinny teenager so I'm not interested in racing the kids, I just want a few 30 min sessions every other w/e, hopefully that's doable ;-)
The corollary here for me is if I don't track, I don't really need a 991 either, I'd probably be fine with my commuter and a cheap 356 (ha) instead ;-)
