Default Looking for an E Car!

I have interest in purchasing a PCA E Class car...PM me if you have a lead. And if you are racing in the E Class, tell me what you love about it. I am just (hoping) to get started club racing with PCA and am looking at the letter classes...always interested in advice.

Do you want a 911 or 944 or does it matter as long as it's an E class car?

I have raced in E F and G. I used to run a 944 TurboS. I built a new 944 Turbo car a few years ago to E stock and have never looked back. Love it!
In F/G we would generally be the slower cars in the fast group. The fast group was generally smaller and there were not many cars in class to race with. Winning class when you are the only entrant lacks something.

By comparison E class is often the largest (at least in my area). Great competition, close racing, great drivers, very respectful of each other, and give racing room. I have yet to have a car on car incident when racing other Ecars, despite some epic battles and very close racing.

Euro 911's are the kings of E, and if you can get a Buckley bullet your set.

If I were to start racing today, I would probably go Boxster in E or spec Boxster. More modern equipment, low purchase price, lots of parts available, reliable. 944s2 also makes for a reliable competitive E car.

Sadly, I should probably sell what I believe, is the winningest E car in PCA Club Racing.

48% Class wins and 71% podiums in 63 Races.

Car has been sitting for three years as life has tossed me some "changes."

Not sure where to price it due to the hiatus. Very open to offers with or without twenty foot Haulmark enclosed trailer.

This was a very well known car. Please ask any of my E class competitors, I'm sure they will vouch for it and my integrity.

Here's a link to my history in the car: http://www.rennpoints.com/driverhist...esse+Wurmbrand

Kind regards,

I can definitely vouch for Jesse, and the competitiveness of his car. Awesome. Easiest way to being competitive in E is a Euro and this is one of the best.

The challenge is that anyone who buys it is expected to podium with it. No pressure!!

Thanks, Richard.

Mike Quigley pointed out this tread to me and the fact that for myriad reasons, I probably won't race anytime soon.

As much as it pains me to make this admission, I am working on a build sheet for a prospective buyer. Suffice is to say, this isn't a Buckley car by any stretch but it has beaten or been second to him many times. Car has a real 930/10 motor and all the go fast parts from just before adjustable front mono ***** and cheater wheels were allowed. Honest car that could use some modernizing. I by no means, am expecting Buckley offers (read half).

I think its finishes from 2002 to 07 speak for themselves.

The group of guys I've met racing in E, across the country, are some of the finest, most competitive men. Many of them I count as my closest friends. The stories of all night repairs among us, just to slug it out again, are tales of legend. You cannot find a group with more honest camaraderie anywhere.

Another voucher for the yellow machine. Always in the hunt for the win but I am sure a lot has to do with the driver. Hope you get back in the game soon, miss the weed whacker drinks and as you said the camaraderie is second to none. Always was fun to hang with the CO group at Heartland, and Hallett.

if your running with Mark up there with Acumoto i think you are already in the right hands....that e car he brought out this year was FAST...we had some good battles at watkins this year...he is a great driver and fun to go door to door with.

Euro's seem to be the bee's knees but i have done ok with a 3.2......Jim Childs is very fast in his 968...that thing has brakes....
hupfer and buckley definately seem to have the fastest cars out there...im still working to come close to those guys....good drivers and good cars are hard to catch regardless.

There are a few 944 e cars but not a ton...was one at mid ohio that well i wont say anything.

best of luck finding one, if i hear of any ill shoot your and or Mark an email.

Thanks for the feedback...I appreciate it. Mark has been awesome. Very helpful and a very talented driver/coach. The crew from Accumoto does it right for sure.

I hope to be door to door (even if briefly) with you guys soon!

I like that 968 up there, but I'm partial to the 944 platform. Air cooled 911's are just looking too old for my taste.
I've campaigned my 944S2 for four years now, and as mentioned above, they're really reliable.
Can't say the same for the Turbos, though.
With an E 968 you can modify it as you proceed, eventually gutting the s**t out of it (which saves on brake and tire wear) moving to SP3 and join us in 944SuperCup. Lots of places to race them, not just PCA.

The (timeless) look of the 911 compared to the (dated) look of the 944? Seriously?????
