He's already in the Porsche club of Florida and they track their cars every weekend. However, you can track whatever you want as long as you own a Porsche. He wants to keep his 997 convertible as his daily driver and his civic as his beech/ surf car. However, I think he'll end up with a 996 coupe (cheaper than a 997 and just as reliable). He really likes his Porsche. It will be a weekend track toy, but still street legal and in Florida pretty much anything passes as street legal. Either way next time I go visit I get to drive a Porsche.
With all this being said my uncle and cousins already have high end Porsche's and I'm hoping next time I go they'll rent a track for a day so we can all goof off. I love having wealthy relatives. Too bad a teacher salary doesn't quite cut it.

 

Well, your doing god's work, Josh.

Josh in all seriousness, Tell him to get an Atom.
he'll be into for around 45-50K but wowsa it will blow a way a Porsche any day.
Street legal but close to open wheel as you can get.

 

Since its not racing and just for track days then he should get whatever he thinks is fun and can afford to ball up and leave at the track.

 

Josh, here it is:

WOW!! What a deal!!

 

Bill, that is a nice car, but my brother wants to improve/ modify the car as he becomes a better driver. Plus he needs a passenger seat for an instructor for this year at least. I've been talking with him and I think he' gonna end up with a 996 S model or 997 coupe, which ever he finds a better deal on.

 

I think so.

 

Well, it's his money. From everything I've read, this car will not bite you. Why get a car you have to mod as you improve when you can just get a car that will be all you need? Plus they are super rare and will probably return good value when he sells. But hey, different strokes.
