Beautiful car....350hp out of a 3.0 sounds a bit high.
Have fun!

PCA-GT1-GT4, dominated by slicks, Aero and Turbos.

There are Aero kits good for 4-5 secs at Sebring. Slicks are another 3 secs advantage over shaved RA1, and 5 secs over fast street tires. Turbos are better than bigger engines.

Izzone's car is a 3.0 N/A, 2,100 lbs empty (need to add fuel and driver/gear), no aero. On RA1, Coffee DE Cup, on slicks Gold DE Cup (and treaded vintage Hoosiers are slicks with tread).

Anyway, the car gets a DNF in the DE Cup, because racecar.

Fail. All of the GTxS classes run DOT tires - R6s usually.

3 and 4 see no turbos. GT3S record is 2:16, 4S is 19 and should be faster than that.

Edit to add: I see now that a simple 964 Cup car has run a 2:19.

BTW - Izz. Gorgeous car. You should have a riot with it...you'll be far more busy in it making it go fast.
We have no use for your truths and facts on these pages.. Geez, we're just trying to motivate the man to a 2:20 and here you come kicking him in the ***** with a 2:12...

OK, ok stop it with all these anoying correct fasts about ol cars I know nothing about. Turbo's dont count. Its not a Turbo, stay on topic.

You seen the man shift! I cant wait to put the side by side FLATOUT video's on the screen. He'll be shifting slower then me.

So I wont have to point you by there then..
And it was not you driving, you need to get the car learned, setup, chew on the data with Ron for a few months. It's next winter before I'm watching my rear mirror.

Than again i will have to learn to drive again after my unpredented multi season driving hiatus, maybe I will have to buy a PDK..

sweet track toy.

However, you will miss the precision and easy to maintain characteristics of the GT3....

Lap times will tell the tale...
