Default I have a similar list, particularly the E30 and 951.

Both of those cars are cheap to buy but I hear they are very expensive to maintain properly. I'm probably going with a '95 M3, a little more $$$ upfront but hopefully less for maintenance.

Yup, I think there is a S/C available for the GTS. That should get you quite a bit over the 200 mark

Default Not a cost effective route, unless......

...you do web design work for them and they give you BIG discounts in return.

I've met the guys at RTR for lunch, and told them that they should buy some Miatas, and rent them for one third the cost. THat would build their customer base, and eventually some of them will want to move up to the BMWs and pay the big money.

Default Or look at what AudiJon is doing, also expensive.

I'm not sure what the better racing is, SCCA or Formula Dodge (skip barber, audijon) but both are very expensive. I imagine I would prefer the Formula Dodge, at least in theory the cars are identical.

Both routes are extremely expensive, figure $3000+ per race weekend. But to a man with an RS6, that's chump change.

I thought Studdard said it was only like $1200 - $1500 a day?

Yeah the Elise has more than enough power stock.
