I did both - but mostly at different times.
Started with a '58 Porsche Speedster (actually my second Porsche, the first was
a '64 SC, but too nice to fool around with). High speed time trials in the
Speedster.
At the same time, I was crewing on two boats - then partnered into a Santana
27. Gave the boat up for a bigger house - two hobbies and a new house are too
much. A '67 BMW to drive.
Then a '64 C coupe - quick rebuild and sale. A '68 modified 911S which became
the track car - built into an IMSA 2.5 GTU - ran west coast and Sebring (once).
Picked up a '69 911S and sold it, then divorced - she got the Speedster and the
Bavaria, I got the IMSA car.
Then an '83 911T/S, then a '78SC coupe, then a new lady with a '71T Targa. Then
a new chassis ('70 S) for a new IMSA car, which had glass bodywork, and later
it got LeMans 935 long tail and a bunch of tubes/altered suspension, etc. Just
chartered with friends for my water fix.
New lady got a '79 Targa. Sold them all and moved to Maryland and got Penniless
(30-1). Changed ladies.
Now a 330ci and half the boat.
And you may wonder where the money went....

Just the cool cars (in order of ownership):
’66 Maserati Mistral
’57 Triumph TR3 (x2)
’66 Corvette 427 roadster
’62 Triumph TR3B
’52 Triumph TR2
’65 Triumph TR4A
’77 Porsche 911S
’65 Porsche 356SC
’83 Porsche 944
’79 MGB
’85 Porsche 911 Carrera
’83 Porsche 911 SC cabriolet
’05 BMW 325i
’05 Lotus Elise (goes around corners very fast)
So the next logical step in this discussion is to ask how many that have
sports cars also race their boats and their cars? I'll bet there may be a
connection there as well.
For me, the head-to-head racing on a track has an appeal, but I am more
comfortable on an autocross course.

went to BMW 300 series for a month
tried a corvette but wanted to go fast around corners more than the
straight away
the car i have been most satisfied through the years is the porsche.
started with 911s late 70's and moved to boxster a few years ago. like the
roadster, width and mid-engine. also have a cayenne

tried the panerama-sp? its nicer than the cayenne
