Yes, even if your TT gets heat soaked, I think the tires and brakes hold up better then the Corvette's end even more so then the GTR due to it's weight.
Is looked like you guys had a fun day :-)

the GT2 is stock, for now.
That's quite a schedule, I'll probably make Mosport and maybe another track perhaps the Glen. If you'd like to discuss video of the event at Mosport,
pls contact me at ezweig@rogers.com.
also April issue of Excellence magazine, pg 81

Eshel, I've signed up for Mosport on the 14th. Would be cool if you could make it too... as well as some of the other local boys and girls.
Mancation II will be epic. It'll be nice to say that I was part of it

It always amazes me that everyone finds fault with the interior of the Corvette. I have owned 2 and although not up to (or close to) Audi standards I really don't find my 09 C2S interior up to Audi either. My seats have blotches all over them and I have seen more than my share of P cars with the bolsters fading from just getting in and out of the cars. We took a 10 hour drive in my 06 Zo6 and were very comfortable with no aches or pains. I love Porsches but they do not have perfect interiors either. Seems like some just have to find something to nit pick about when it comes to comparing their cars to others. Kudos to those who have commented in the positive for a great lap at the Ring. Great time for performance cars.

4:11 is Angstkurve, but hell yeah Klostertal the next bend after he got iron *****! its funny because i see plenty of places where he probably could have gone faster because of little errors but maybe thats because he is pulling a 7:19 lap! i think the car has more in her.
they say its 6 seconds faster but what tires was this car running before as they mention several times its now on PSC's. i figure that change alone would add much more than 6 seconds if they are comparing to street tires.
