^ A normal viper with a quaife diff and some sticky tires (lots of traction problems with a viper) makes an excellent, reliable track car. Why bother trying to make an ACR out of it?

Lots of ex-mega-hp sports car owners @ CaymanClub, and many have seen the light that handling, balance, precision, and finesse can be more rewarding than having loads of hp that can't be safely used on the street.

I'd suggest a used one in this economy, lots of good deals are out there.

On the street only, I'd seriously consider a car like the Cayman S, but on the track, the Cayman S is just too slow for my tastes, precision handling, balance, etc. notwithstanding.

The only Porsche's I've come across on the track that can keep up are the GT3 and GT3 RS with good drivers.

If you're bored come out to MSR-Cresson this coming weekend (Dec. 6/7) and I'll take you out for a session or two.
