I was driving the Corvette. It was a new T-1 class race-car and Barber was it's shake-down. I had never been to Barber and was not much more than a novice racer. The video came from the first or second run-group on Saturday. As I learned the track that day and got comfortable in the car, the Porsche couldn't keep up. I've been racing for 10 years since then and agree with the commenter who said that you can't make a ruling on Porsche versus Corvette by watching one lap on one video.
You, my friend get it exactly. I would love to take some driving lessons from an Un-biased instructor. I know my old '88 930 isn't the fastest car on the road anymore, but it is an amazing car to drive, and I bet you could make me better. raidermike72 at aol. com, I would love to take a class.!
The Porsche driver is clearly the better driver. It is impossible to tell from this video which car would lap the faster. I owned a '99 911 and now a C6 Z06. As an instructor/racer I have driven many different cars. A couple 1980 vintage 911s had scary handling relative to modern engineering. I haven't drive any 80s vintage Vettes but would bet they would also be scary.
How would the 930 do against my '07 Z06 with comparable tires? I really don't know or care. I would just want to drive both!
RebeccaGM, may I call you Becky? You are a woman after my own heart! It feels like you and I are standing shoulder-to-shoulder fightiing the Chevy "tard! I'm very impressed you drive a 930. Are you actually a woman? If so, I hope you're not calling your Boxster a 930? hehe! I can't imagine anything sexier than a hot woman driving a 930! She's a handfull!. I have the same year as you. I read all your comments, very nicely done Ma'am! Sorry about the Boxster joke!
