The GT2 was faster in the range of 40 km/h to 250 km/h than the 600hp 996 Turbo and the modified Corvette. That's a fact after the shootout. Ok, the GT2 is lighter than both cars and evertime there was passenger on board and i drove alone. But don't forget i have a big wing on my tail, which is an aerodynamic disadvantage in accelaration things.

RC, we never had the chance to compare our cars directly at sunday, but we will do it soon.

One thing at least, you all are great drivers and i had no chance to follow you in the black forrest But i also drove this track first time and not as often than you.



I'm afraid I can't agree (we heard that before ):
1. we had several occasions to compare our cars, maybe you just forgot in the heat of the moment. Especially the last encounter when we hit 250 kph, you were next to me and you didn't gain a centimeter. Now just don't tell me you were holding back.

2. I saw you and the 600 HP Sportec Turbo (or 580 HP because of the reduced boost pressure ) and I'm afraid the Sportec Turbo was definetely faster, especially at speeds over 220 kph, he pulled away. Not by very much but he did. Were you holding back again?
3. I've NEVER been to the places we have been with the boys, maybe the boys should have told you. First time for me too.

I agree with the following:
1. my 997 Turbo had more than 1500 km when we did this but it is no secret that the car will run much better after 10000 km or so. So we definetely will try again.
2. the meeting wasn't about driving but about the cars. This is actually where in my opinion the "problem" started because I came for a friendly comparison and ended up "fighting" the local hero. At least I did well and I earned a new nick name (undercover dad) but thats not the point, I was there for fun, not for competition.

Finally, I don't want to mention the people who turned off the A/C to gain a few horses or those who lowered the air pressure before leaving...
Apparently this whole macho stuff is deep inside most men out there. Seems that I need to cut some pride into little slices next time, I'll be prepared.
