Peter, so Ian gets you by 5 secs and you're a better driver than I am.
NASA-TT at Sebring this fall, your Moving Chicane with suspension, my Moving Chicane with Wing, Splitter, a Diff, and stripped, so we get the same power/weight ratio. and same level of prep.
Ian drives your car, I'll find a Pro to drive my car. I would do the driving against Ian, but he's as fast as a Pro, and I'm 5 secs slower than a Pro.

I doubt I can get a track record either, because there is an Aero Beetle 3.8 RS running at the event. Peter (your co-driver) has seen my droving, he has seen the Aero Beetles driving, and he firmly believes the Aero Beetles are far and vastly superior drivers and cars, hopefully I can make podium.

Not sure. Fiat experts say that I need to use the manettino in Race mode to get the fastest laps, but I run with all the nannies off, this is probably why among many other things I'm so sloppy slow.

Ian, I have no clue, I guess 2:00 or better. I have never driven that configuration before. However, there is a car with more power registered in TTU, it has 520whp, and given that most people in this forum firmly believe that horsepower automatically dictates domination, I will clearly lose to the modified C6 Z06.

My S2000 did a 1:31.7 there in January on the Banked course. That's 2778lbs and 211whp.
I think the F430 challenge cars do high 1:20's. Like 28's or 29's.

Yes, STU trim. N/A
I've been looking and it's really cheap for me to hang a turbo on the side of it. We're thinking about hanging a turbo on it and running the one lap next year in it. My issue is that means building a 2nd motor because 12.0:1 compression and street gas (which could be 91 octane in some area's) and a turbo..... Yeah maybe not.

yeah, 12:1 on 91 pump F/I, idk. No cheap way to do F/I in a S2000 IMO, not reliably at least.
