Speaking of 918, someone has one of those 911 Turbo S Cabriolet 918 Special Additions on eBay for like $210K. Think its way overpriced. Not to mention you needed to buy a 918 to get the opportunity to buy the turbo. So we know the dude overpaid on that too.
Like the car though. Hope they will take it GT racing, it wouldn't be a GP in its current configuration?

Sad thing for me about the 918 is that I feel it cannot live up to the expectations. No doubt it will be an absolute technological masterpiece, but I can't help to feel that it is setting itself up for failure.

Agreed - just throw a hard top, 600 hp naturally aspirated engine, and has it weigh about 2800 lbs----- Winner guaranteed.

Well, I never said he got it out of 2nd gear down the straights! In Green group I think. The 6 deep boxter train ahead of him must have been loving it.
I haven't been able to get 2:10 mark...maybe if I borrow this CGT

he perfers using the car for track time vs. street although he also uses his GT3RS on the track too. Great guy and great driver.

I'm an old 911 pilot and don't like lots of rear slip-angle at corner exits.

I made a very easy, yet very effective, modification to help the back end stay planted; I changed the rear anti-roll bar setting to full soft. I picked up 5 seconds a lap by being better able to put down power at the exit.
