I was an active PCA member for years, attended events, entered my 2006 Club Coup into Concours, ect..
I still couldn't get into the driving schools. I finally gave up. I didnt want to trash out my Club Coupe anyways on a track...would have liked to try it a few times though.
I should have kept my 2002 base 911 instead of trading it in for a measly $40k. I could have turned it into a track beast.
Oh well, live and learn...now out of the market until Labor Day. Hopefully prices will cool down on near new (2020-2023) 911S Coupes w/ PDK. Some seem to be sitting longer now, so I hope that trend continues.
I'd like to pay below original sticker price for a low mile "S". Right now, thaat's tough to do.
Bring a trailer sold a 2023 S heritage for 8K behind MSRP. Stunning color combo.
If you get a car, join Chin driving events, they track all over the country (Sebring, Homestead are FL local) and its a really nice program. I drove Homestead in my M3 a couple years back, had a blast and the car came out unscathed. If you need an instructor they will give you one. I got registered as a intermediate and got to drive solo on my first event.
You didn’t want to trash it - what, lol? Did you give up trying to get into the ‘driving schools’, give up being a PCA member - or both?
That said, keep in mind your car must meet the requirements and pass a tech inspection relative to DE events. Although it’s not racing, HPDE is a stepping stone into PCA Club Racing; this is where the real fun/challenge begins. :-)
Correct, I didn't want to trash my rare Club Coupe. There were only 50 made, & 2 are in Porsche museums.
I was winning PCA concours events w/ it, but would have done the track a time or two on a slow day. The road rash to the front end would ahve meant the end of Concours.
Anyways, its onto its 3rd owner, & I'm out of the market for now.
I'm watching 3 911S's online though. They're moving slower, so prices will dip soon.
I bought the Corvette Z06 instead. Its faster, costs 1/2 as much (I saved $150k), & has lower cost of ownership.
I'll see you in my rear view mirror
The GT3RS is faster then C8 Z06, it’s lap times prove this. It has 150 less hp too. Wait until the 992 GT2RS comes out, it’ll spank the C8 ZR1 too as it always has.

No FE7 specification? I’m not trying to convince you a GT3 RS is higher-performing, more communicative and the most fun to drive (although it is lol) nor do I agree ‘cost of ownership’ factors into a decision regarding a ‘track toy’, per my (Porsche) thread. That said, no PCA club racing for you. ;-)
However, I’m curious as to what changed from your previous post (just a week ago), as bolded below. As such, your purchase appears to be a bit impulsive (regardless of the money you saved).

Heh, you talk a big game considering you’ve never been on any track. ;-) Enjoy!
