The 25(50max)h rebuild requirement on the motor is relative. A 24h enduro is the equivalent wear on a motor of about 75k road miles.

If you are a club racer, IMHO the best thing to do is to research the used cars that are for sale and buy the nicest example with the lowest hours on the motor. Even better than that is to pick up a chassis with no motor that was kept as a spare and then buy a new motor from PMNA.
Ahhhhh thanks for the info bud.

This and you will need a crew of experienced pit people to help you prep, tune, maintain, and run the car.

I remember seeing it's somewhere in the 250k - 300k range as far as pricing goes.

Isn't your 993 basically already a cup car for the road? Do you really need another one? You really have a bad case of Obsessive Upgrade Disorder
