If it were me i think about moving up to a GT350, better yet would be a Cayman GT4 . Thing is just trying to get on a dealer list just to get a chance to be able to buy a Cayman GT4 big thing .

Arent Rapters gonna be turbo v6's in 2016?

*2017's and yeah but a detuned version of the engine that the ford Gt will be using. 450Hp twin turbo with the direct injection so it should be very interesting.

I BOUGHT A 2005 Silverado 2500hd DMAX ext cab 4x4 in 2005 new ,slapped a Diablo sport tune on it and MBRP exhaust ,larger Kodiak intake and cranked the T bars to get Hummer H2 wheels and bigger AT tires on it . The thing is bullet proof ,nothing has broken in over 10 years . I tow with it and use it as a DD. It has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I would highly recommend it to anyone . Only thing I would change is , next time ( 2016 or 2017 ) I will get a crew cab instead of an ext cab .

More than likely new truck to tow the race car to the track is the smart thing to do .

backeddy · 07-07-2015, 05:49 PM

Yeah the truck is looking like the smart move......the 1LE can remain the wife's DD (low miles lol). I am driving a mercedes now, but it is BORING. I really want the gt350 but I have already owned almost every exotic under $250k at some point, so it would be a track car type purchase.....The only two I miss are the Ferrari 360 (best car ever made imho) and the Diablo (should have kept that POS for the value increase)....All the rest were just cars, nothing special.

I have written off new Porsche for track use, first, is that in the last 10 track days in a row, I have seen one flatbeded away with engine issues....including 3 brand new TT that over-heated on WARM UP laps! 2nd, I really like the Cayman until a nice blue R hit the apex marker at turn 6 and pretty much totaled his car....there were parts and fluid everywhere. I hit the exact same spot (probably going faster) and only bent my suspension and bubbled my tire... That one incident ended my love affair.

How about doing something fun like an engine swap in a porsche? Ive been itching to do that.

Since you have the porsche, get a reliable tow rig and you could also use it to tow the Camaro should you decide to keep it.

markgws6 · 07-07-2015, 08:16 PM

I look forward to you keeping the 1LE, making it (better) and spanking many "supposedly" faster cars! :-)

I have the 944 track car AND a 97 mile 2014 LT1 sitting in the garage......I think about it every day!!!!!!!!!! The LT1 is lighter than a 944 turbo engine and has 2.5 times the power....yeah.

whan · 07-07-2015, 10:57 PM

Price tag <$35k? (I'm assuming so since the cars listed as trade up are $60-$90k, with $35k 1LE trade in).

-Sporty + Fuel efficiency: Golf GTI / Golf R
-Relaxing Daily: Used Merc E350 or some other nice but generic mid-luxury car

Ippon14 · 07-07-2015, 11:37 PM

Lexus LFA or the Cayman GT4

Aaron313 · 07-07-2015, 11:50 PM

Or wait for the new Acr Viper you'll obliterate every car mentioned on here at the track lol
