Very.... good times i have run VIR alot I just bought the GT3 and only tracked it twice the first time complete alignment disaster second time on streets 1 sesion on slicks i would say i was driving 6 th 10th or 7/10ths i was turinng 2:16 consistantly the car is new to me so i would say dropping below 2:10 wont be a problem on the full course. but i will say anything under 2:10 is a very very fast time. i have been there with almost every group out there and anything around 2:15 is very respectable,,,
when you go below that dude it is just plain fast.... cup cars run 2:02 -2:04 on track days....
hopefully i will see some of you folks in pca stuff this year...
i could never get below 2:15 in the 997 with slicks by the way

The Cayenne Turbo has ample power to pull that much weight, but the recommended tongue weight is not to exceed 610 pounds. When I shifted the weight around in my Featherlite trailer to make it 610 pounds tongue weight and a total weight of around 7150 pounds, it was VERY scary pulling it. The tongue weight should be 10-15% of the total weight of the trailer. The Cayenne simply cannot handle a trailer like that safely. Now with my 1800 pound Trailex, I estimate the total weight to be around 5500 pounds with my GT3 and all my gear. This will make a perfect setup for the Cayenne.
There are other options available such as an 18' ATC. I think someone on this board has one and pulls it with his Cayenne S. Do a search on this site about towing with the Cayenne and you will find all the info you might need.

Boulder,
I raced 4 races at VIR this summer. I had a 1997 993 that was converted to RSR (as close as I could get it) 375HP 2500# with 1 hour of fuel and no driver. My fastest lap was 2:04:03. Another 993RSR got to 2:03:1.
To compare the stock GT3 street cars were about 2 seconds slower than my car at Watkins Glen for the PCA race. Watkins Glen is about a second faster than VIR for most Porsches.
