Hi All,

After getting addicted to driving in DE's this past summer, I want to take it to the next level. I did the 3 day Skip Barber racing school, a lapping day, and 6 DE's in a BMW M Roadster. I had a DE instructor that ran ITS, and I think its where I'd like to go.

I still plan on doing DE's to get track time, but plan on racing a few times too. I've been talking to people, and everybody has different opinions. I'm looking at Porsche 944's or 2nd generation RX-7's.

I know the BMW's are fast in ITS, but they are pretty expensive. Seems liek RX-7's are a good value, and I guess I've always wanted a Porsche.

I had someone say the 944 will blow up every other race, and the RX-7 is high maintenance. The guy at the race shop says the 944 is reliable and needs to be freshened every 80 hours or so. My instructor has had the RX-7 for years and it has been maintenance free (pads, tires, fluids excluded).

Who do you listen to? Can anybody confirm or deny these myths?

Thanks
