lurking for a while, have questions, track fun / 914 vs cayman s Options

[Dirty Evo]

ok , been lurking here for a while hesitant to post because I don't have anything useful to add to any threads, and I don't have any important questions.

but hell, I need to start sometime....

a bit about me: currently own '08 Cayman S... my daily driver, and occasional HPDE car. I also have a 1990 BMW 325i built to SPEC E30 race spec (built by me and my friends and local shop). I don't race , but that is my normal track car for HPDE... do roughly and even per month. About 12-15 track days per year total. I have the E30 because obviously cheaper to build out than the cayman, and every single conceivable part is cheaper and its super easy for me to learn to work on(I am not very mechanical, so I am learning about working on cars as I go along). And its fun and great car for learning to drive.

Problem is, I don't like BMW. Have always been a porsche guy... funny thing is I also don't like 911's (never have). My first car and highs school graduation present was a 72 914 1.7. Slow as hell, but fun (this was in 89). Then I had a 944S2 and now my Cayman and of course a whole bunch of fun non-P cars in between. But always been a fan of 914... maybe just a sentimental thing, not sure.

Ok , so that is my introduction to the site.

now my question: this is just looking for opinions / ideas / thoughts... for me to think about. for a track car, should I go with 914-6 (conversion due to my budget) or my cayman S ? I mean, if I drop $20K on a 914, will I still wish I was driving the Cayman on the track instead? Or is the 914 going to be more fun? remember, I don't race (only in lemons races, with a diff car), I am only out having fun at HPDE in upper-intermediate or advanced groups. I want to have FUN and be safe and be able to afford to fix my car and learn to work on it and have it look good.

So, build out my Cayman? or pick up one of these REALLY nice 914-6 up for sale right now.

Would love input from people who have driven BOTH on the track... which one did you like better??
