I wasn't driving it at the time. Pro-driver Cort Wagner was behind the wheel.
Just when you think you're pretty fast it humbling to note that pro race car drivers are on a whole different level..

Out of curiosity, what were your times?

Cort did a 137 in my stock R32 with me on board. In this mounths Motortrend the 997s did a 140 and the C6 did a 139..Sub 140s seem to be a good time for a GT3 when driven by mear mortals. I run a 151 with my GT3 and GT2 on a good day but I'm really slow. The fastest anyone else has driven the R32 is a 147(Richard).

Did Cort just drive your car a couple of laps or did you use him as an instructor? He is a good driver, very quick hands and feet, but I am very impressed with his instruction. Repeated sessions with him, your comfort level and times improve dramatically. Be a sponge and listen to his car set up info, he is excellent in that as well.

However, he needs to fill us in on the details of this moment from his bio:
Best non-racing moment was being in the Jacuzzi in the famous “grato” in the Playboy Mansion with 10 playmates ….
Graduated from University of Southern California with degrees in Philosophy and Psychology ….
