2004 Open Track Challenge - 32 y/o 911 takes 1st overall in touring
It's a long read, so if you're not into road racing (and Porsches) hit the back button now 
Summary: 1972 Porsche 911 beat out Vipers, Vettes and 430hp Evos for the overall win in the touring division. Division standings are here:

93 power output v. newer cars like vipers/vettes/evos etc., is great driving.

I'll be looking to add a "summer only" car to my stable within the next year, and I've been looking at the older 911s and the C5 vettes (hoping the C6 will compress c5 prices lower then they are already).
The thing with the 911s is that you're not pushing that much weight (2200lbs or so for a 72), so you don't need as much hp as a 3200lb C5 vette to go fast.

drop a k20 or f22 w/ turbo. Sitting golden
good luck! lightweight setup I much prefer mid/rear mounted setup because of the weight xfer issues involved in road racing. Get a nice suspension, adjust camber etc., and yer golden!

There is a picture of a elise passing a 911 with the caption of "Walking away from a Porsche at 130 mph." What 911 do you think that is ??
It's Black Beauty, the 1972 911 that participated in the OTC that I linked to above
I think that Jack Olsen posted something about the photo, but It's late, and I don't feel like searching thru the PelicanParts 911 posts to find the "story" on that pic.
Lightweight is the way to go
It'll be interesting to see what used Elises go for on the used car market in a few years.
