It's a consideration for down the road... at some point, the 997 GT3s will get cheaper and that'll be the time for me to jump in that pond... I do wonder if I will like the driving dynamics of the 911 though... the thought of a rear engine car has always been a turn off for me

Good point on the backups, but then that's 2-3 sets of brakes to bleed, oil to change etc. And good point on it being a Miata... have trouble imagining that being fun on a long track like VIR
Sticking with the Z for now, but thanks for entertaining the thought!
So, have any of you guys worked with
CIN Motorsports out of Charlotte? I just talked with the owner Bobby and seems like a good guy - definitely understands thermal management on a race car.
