Z is a good car, but the 911 is simply on another level. Even when comparing a ZR1 to a GT3 on the ring'(911 with almost 1/2 the torque, and 200 less HP), the GT3 is not only faster, but the 4 people doing the testing for EVO mag had nothing but praise...5 out of 5 stars. ZR1 3.5 stars...
Unlike others, the 911 race-car does not trickle the technology down...it POURS down into it's production cars. Drive one, and it is an epiphany.
I believe the guy cutting the 1.35s was Lew Larimer...in a 1984 Oldsmoble Cutlass (#47). Must be embarrassing to get doored in your turbo Porsche by an OLDSMOBILE!
your right Lew turns 1:35s ..He's a great driver and a SCCA nat champ driving an Ex Trans Am car........someday I hope I can run in the 1:35s .I'm not embarrassed at all....I try do the best I can with what I have
I think OLDSMOBILE is now....like GM, Chapter 11 ?
Just because a professional race-car driver can drive the doors off a piece of crap, doesn't make it a benchmark(which the 911 is, and the Oldsmobile isn't).
You could put a turbine engine in a Yugo, with Bilsteins, and it's still a POS.
BTW...Le Mans win's...Porsche 16...your beloved GM(blue collar garbage)...ZERO, as in NONE.
very nice!!! I love to come out of 11 and just gas it all the way up the hill.I took my wife around for some laps she did not dig it at all o well what a blast!!!
Outstanding entertainment. Thanks for posting this in-car footage. This 45 "ex hot-rodder" and Fiat nut, has a strong "hankerin'" to get his 1985 Biturbo Out There as well...now if I could just ask my wife....
yes i do run with bob stefanowitz, loran beggs and eric obertz. i dont claim to be fast as the 3 names i listed. They have the highest HP turbo cars out there, but i run the times that i run...it is what it is! also i run 1:39 's at fontana.
protrader6, that is 2 bad esp considering the great lap time you churned out. as 4 loren and eric, competing against those cars is almost not fair. i know a little about what's in them and all i can say is that they r terrifying. i find it amazing that the times they turn r still well-off of what cars like those r capable of doing, and that is no disrespect 2 them but rather a testiment 2 how fast those toys r. i know less about Bob except hes really fast. enjoy in good health.
your right! good catch! who is this porshe? I havent seen video like that since stefanowitz showed me one of his video clips charges from the back of the pack!
2muchrightft..i would have been 3rd on the grid but i had a mechanical issue with the wastegate and hit 109 on the DB meter. I lost my qual time and had to start in the back. thanks for asking
Great racing, did you rub the black Monte Carlo that spun early? Nice if you did! I'm a new 930 owner, does that sound come from a waste gate boost? The hiss? This video gives me a chubby haha, well done!
1:37's you say? damn, the thing looks like it gets up and moves, but that's just freakin' impressive. the car's been featured on Pelican Parts quite a bit hasn't it? or am i thinking of someone else's toy? :)
Have you ever raced? It takes a great deal of time, skill and effort to get times as good as that. The fact that he can get consistent times without crashing or hitting the rest of the field says a lot about his own personal skills...
Thanks for the support BrianB170. I think Karlt10 was driving one of the slow cars in the back of the field. This was the first lap of the race so it takes time to get thru the group of slow cars safely. Karlt10 may have the to skill to drive a good slow line with 75 hp. .. Karlt10 this car turns 1:37's at sears point with me driving the CORRECT LINE!.. you are the one that the driving schools talk about, that drives over their head and crashes on the start of a race.
Kart10..... you are a poser! you probaly have no idea what it takes to run a 1:37 at sears point. The line is something you practice in DE, racing is the line you take to run fast and get through traffic. it can be different every lap! why dont you post a video of your "line" so we can see how fast YOU are! :)

No. The Porsche sounds like the La Mans winning 936/935. The Z "sounds" like what you settle for when the Porsche is out of reach.

Boy.... sure don't know what a line is, do you. I think you get past others just as much on hp as you do them worrying about getting run into.
Oh well, some do it with skill, others do it with hp.
