Sam: Don't bother with the RS. Keep your GT3 and buy a Cup; a much better combo.

Great driving Lar!

Here's the thing: a 7 Cup requires that much more effort to drive fast, that I think an 80% effort in the coming 991RS on Hooters will be as fast as my Cup at 80%.

But that's really not the point is it--the brilliance of a proper racecar is the precision and challenge. That last 20% is where the magic happens and the Cup starts pulling magical seconds out of the lap. Just as well, the 991's brilliance is that it allows 80% of the population to get an 80% racecar-like experience.

Dang you real men! That looks and sounds so awesome. I thought I wanted to be a real driver until I actually got out there and realized I don't want to be able to do what you are doing.

I will be honest; that is a little scary watching how fast you guys are going. My adrenaline was pumping watching this. I guess I never really saw some thing like this other than Nascar on TV and your video is sicker than any of that other stuff . It also shows how dangerous racing could be.

Love it

It's not for the feint of heart. It takes just about everything out of me to glean a few extra seconds when I push. I'm straining for all I'm worth. And when I get out out of the car, I'm drenched in sweat. Even in the cool of January in Willows. But, to be sure, I'm no youngster and I'm pretty plump at the moment, so perhaps some of you wouldn't feel the same after all is said and done.

However... if I slow down a couple of seconds, I can reel off those laps without any strain (but still the sweat - it's hot in there!).

What keeps me going is the lap timer in my dash, telling me I just put down a personal best. My goal is a sub 1:50 lap of TH on the 3 mile bypass. I'm exactly 1.001 seconds off that goal.

For mooty's private trackday's- with few cars and pretty much open track- someone needs to do comparo of all gen gt3's with same driver. Would make a great read and video. Mike

I know. I am itching to buy your car, in impeccable shape but can't have both

bronson7

Thanks for the video. Very impressive driving out there. You do make it look somewhat easy but I can appreciate the effort. How long have you had experience with the Cup car?

ipse dixit

I feel like I'm in the presence of greatness.

Well done and thank you for sharing.

You betcha! 996FLT6's avatar and sig are great!

Great driving all 3 of you but I hear the cup holding back just a wee bit maybe

montoya

Lar, it's always fun to see you drive that beast! Thanks for sharing!

mooty

just get the cup. you have to do it once.
life wont b the same after.

That's a great idea. How much do you think it would cost to hire Randy Pobst for a day? Add $100 bucks per head to the entry fee and Randy will throw down a benchmark lap for your car at TH

Chris, I will ask randy if he is willing to do something like that. ;-)
