hi I was wondering if you had a choice between the subaru engine and the 911 engine which one would you choose? and why?

Its just that most events sell out and, its used as a way to limit applicants somewhat. $.02 I respectfully disagree. I've had plenty of discussions with plenty stuckup PCA people that just don't like conversions because they aren't pure Porsche. I always get attitude about the Subaru conversion,very few of these guys are willing to understand the reasoning behind it, or to appreciate some of the tech that went into getting it running. I think most of these guys are still trying to get over the fact that 914s are allowed in the Porsche club because they think it's NARP. I've never gotten the impression that they are turning away "all porsche" vehicles because the events are full, I think that's just an excuse. The other excuse I've heard is: Mr Bloggs in his (probably gorgeous) 914 1.7 doesn't want to get beaten at (insert event here) by a small block chevy powered 917 replica. Personally - I'd f*****g love to get whaled on by said 917. I love watching Radicals and other totally tricked out kit ripping around the track and I don't give a rats ass if it's faster than me. I'm in it to take part and to enjoy the spirit of motorsport. To me that's about innovation and taking part, and not staring down your nose.

I'm fine with differences of opinions.

I do know that in Colorado they do turn away porsche's at many track events because the event is full.

They have a rule about number of cars per a track mile

they would turn away corvettes, conversions, subaru's too.

There are plenty of NON porsche clubs for those cars to go play in. Audi, Nissan, Mercedes, CEMA... All of these other Colorado clubs will allow "run what'cha brung"

probably some snobbery too.
if the event sells out to all porsche's and its a porsche club, then join a different club.

I can only speak for Colorado....

besides, i doubt you'd want to put a 150hp subbie into a modified (2.4L) GT class against a car with 50K into it and 280hp. (alot of the porsches that are not stock, look like this!)
