Hudyman

Base 991 manual, no performance options, street tires, no modifications.

I think I had the ventilated seat on to keep me cool - LOL!


BTW, the guy in the 996 Turbo was so fast in the straights I could not get passed him...

NICE WORK! What was your highest speed on the oval?

Hudyman

156 mph on this configuration. 167 mph on the tri-oval configuration.

FWIW, when I did that in my 996 gt3 (and my 996 cup but I was gear limited) I would hit about 173-178 mph in the first configuration, but that was on slicks etc etc. Not bad at all for a stock carrera on stock tires.

Fantastic speeds. I ran there a looong time ago in my 78 SC. Topped out at around 145 - all out of gears and torque, and just sat there driving.

Truth be told it is more driver nerve than car. Had I carried 10-15 mor mph through the bowl my told speed would have been that much faster. I am a little chicken with that NASCAR wall! The car would have done the 180mph top speed (easily). The driver on the other hand...

You drove it home, right? That is called a win.

Yep, its all about what speed you are willing to carry on that track. Pretty fun when you start pushing it a little but damn does it feel weird. Running the tri-oval in something like a Viper ACR or GT2 would probably be pretty interesting as well.
