Evan, very funny! We all know that you really fast guys are cheating and running 3.4 or 3.8s

Totally kidding! There is a boatload of talent driving in E these days. Makes me miss it more since I am always on the sidelines these days.

The 3.2 is far more reliable than an equally maintained 3.0 euro. Less things to go wrong.

Don't discount 944's. The Turbo and S2 is still a competitive E car and proven reliable. No transmission issues with a 944! The S2 benefits from the simpler NA engine and higher capacity, plus they can run with the MO30 front brake setup.

Current pricing is quite a bit lower than a 911.

I know where there might be one for sale

I disagree

Far more reliable?

What makes you say that...CIS vs. Motronic?

Motronic is great on both the fuel and ignition sides. Starts easy, runs reliably, no hot or cold start issues. I'm not saying that nothing ever goes wrong, but I have observed more people running cis with ignition or fuel issues compared to Motronic. certainly they are both good systems, I prefer Motronic.

944s are good race cars and quite competitive in the right hands.

Chad - you have made your mark. Sell me your 911 and move on to greener pastures.

Will be a good time! First time back in my car in over a year!

You staying in Tulsa? Should be a good group of people going. Let's plan for a good dinner Friday evening?

They do have an unfair advantage. Perhaps they need to be heavier.

With the right chip it should be able to take a Euro 3.0 out of most turns also. Chad and maybe Sean will probably show the way for the 3.2 Carreras. But, I still think the G50 is much better than the 915. More reliable and they don't mind being shifted fast. The 915 requires a 1-2 action both up and down. So, MY 85'-89'.
You have to think same driver or equal drivers to make this relevant.

Nevermind Evan who is currently the E class points leader in his 3.2.

Yeah, and Evan or Jack (). Proof in the pudding will be when someone in a 3.2 starts posting better times than JB and MH.
