The last time I was at Button Willow I took my 76 Toyota Corona EXiV, and just killed a GTR.
My laptime on the clockwise #13 was 3 minutes 42 seconds. I know thats kinda slow but the GTRs
warranty ran out on the back stretch and it went into limp mode and had the message:Take to the nearest service center!" Max speed after that was 10mph.

mooty do you know what your hp is at the wheels in your GT3? If you have the same HP at the wheels in a Cayman which do you think would be faster? If I remember right the 6GT3 is 381hp at crank and isn't Ken's cayman something like 333hp at the wheels? That sounds like 6GT3 kind of power to me.

Those numbers are not acurate. 380 to the wheels is more like it. Porsche underrated that engine.

i never dyno'd my cars, so i dont know.
if cay and gt had same hp, i would THINK cay is faster (as long as it lasted)
i dont know the rwhp of ken's cay, but if it is 333, then it's a lot more modified than i thought.

a friend with a 6gt3 with stock 3.44 R&P had 367 in 4th gear.
