Some comments on the lap times:

...997S -20mm (7:59) - Rohrl driving. SUB-8Min, on street tires, over 1400kg and only 355HP!
...
996C2 MkII-320HP (8:17) - In 2002, no info on which driver.

996C2 MkI-300HP (8:17) - Back in 1998 and no info on which driver, looking at the 997C2 times, not the difference I'd expect to the 996C2, the 6 years older outgoing model.



It is strongly dependent on the driver and his experience on the Nordschleife.

I am pretty sure that the 996 C2s were either driven by von Saurma or J. Übler, another member of the SportAuto crew. I do remember the testreports and it was quite funny that the Mk2 Carrera achieved similiar laptimes as the previous model, despite higher power rating.
