2 seat coupe that will carry 4 wheels, excluding Porsche 968

[AndyMac4000]

I am really enjoying my Porsche 968 Sport track car. The fact that it can take a full set of wheels and a 35kg trolley jack (as long as you don't take a passenger) is something I find hugely useful. It does however, lack a bit of power.

While there is no track action going on, I got thinking's what else might do the same? Obviously the 924s-968s will. The Porsche 928 is too heavy and I am not interested in BMWs. Any obvious contenders in a 2 seat sports car/coupe style, preferably V6 or V8 and 300 BHP or more?

PS I know the 968 is technically a 4 seater, but mine isn't.

That’s something from left-field, but does fulfil the brief. Not maybe as stylish as I might want. I’m guessing an M3 is the obvious other contender. But I’d prefer it not to be a BMW.

Could you get a full spare set of all four wheels in a Z4M. It looks unlikely?

[AndyMac4000]

370Z is a good shout. 4 wheels might be a bit of a squeeze.

I could always supercharge the 968 I guess.

[AndyMac4000]

Actually, a TVR Cerbera is a great shout. I have always quite fancied one (owned a 4.3 Griffith) many years ago.

Opps - Edited to 35kg jack

Regularly took 4 track day wheels/tyres, trolley jack, some tools, soft suitcase for up to 4/5 nights away if in Europe, helmet and two 20 litre fuel cans to track days in a TVR Cerbera.

How did they all fit in? 3 wheels in the boot?

[AndyMac4000]

That’s a fair squeeze in the TVR.
Many thanks.

I think I’ll pass on the Bentley.....new set of pads after 15 laps?

[AndyMac4000]

I don’t think the Corvette is my kind of thing I’m afraid. The supercharger for the 968 is a nice idea but not really sensible unless you plan to keep the car forever I fear.
Do like the TVR idea. Other thought is a Cayman and just renew the tyres more often.

[AndyMac4000]

Thanks for all of the replies. Seems a 968 Turbo S is the answer. Shame they only made about 14 of them.

[AndyMac4000]

That is a nice looking M3 I must say.....from your profile it looks like you have a few 911s. How does the M3 compare on the track?

The roof rack is a bit of long shot I think. I get scared with a surf board, let alone 100 kgs of wheels and tyres.

It’s not an easy task this one.

[AndyMac4000]

Can you really get 4 wheels in an Evora? It looks quite a squeeze.

I do like Caterhams. One option would be to keep the 968 and use that for wet/long distant track events. And something like a Caterham for dry days.
