My 295Hp Boxster Coupe reaches similar speeds to your 408 Hp Wannabe Aero Beetle at Sebring. Similar speeds out of turns, very similar speeds on the straights.

I think you bought a Lemon, because a PDK (faster than my Boxster manual tranny) and 3.8 X51 should blow away my Boxster on the straights.

The dyno and the scales will tell the truth.

I am staying in Blue as long they allow me to. I have no desire to get into the Red Sea of DE sharks.

On the track I'm blind to light blue so I can't see you and no point by's for you.
Cross drilled steel braided brake lines are the hot setup for Sebring...

My 2009 Carrera S reached right at 138-39 on back straight...my GTS is 139-40. Chris Hall and I both got same back straight speed. GTS has a touch more aero downforce.

I with ya on the dyne...I'll drive over to your area for a 4 wheel dyno test...pdk need 4 wheels dyne or it goes limp mode.

I'm wondering if my FVD M&M side delete exhaust is dropping HP??? Its a pretty simple little system out of the cats to X (merge) crossover to 2 tiny little round mufflers to the tips.

X51 adds 23hp no real torque....hummm

Izzone, Erik and Trakcar, belong to the White Group.

mdrums, M3EvoBR, Blackie's GT3DE, The Greek and Steve belong to Black Group.

Senna should stick to the Blue group and have Mr. JP175 join him.

Fiat in Red group.

Silver Bullet's GT3DE in the Silver Group.

DeputyDog in the Yellow group.

Compared to the Blue group, Red group is like the clouds parting, sun coming out, rainbow in the distance with virgins singing. Sunday was the most clean laps I've had in a year.

Just signed up for Saturday. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys. Also looking forward to pointing everyone by. My stock RS on street tires is no match for DE Cup guys. Might bring the the little Prelude race car so I don't feel as bad.

See you guys soon.
