Yes aero helps a lot specially cup car aero.
Lesser car with not so experience driver with higher lap times,
All still in the right place last I checked.

I agree. Things are as should be.

I'm looking at what would be a H class car.
They are actually very easy to drive, as long as you are patient with the 915 box (which is a great box, by the way). So I don't think it would be difficult for you, so stop making excuses.

H is a great class. I have coached a bunch of the H drivers here in Texas as well as in the Northeast.

I'm saying that everything is where it should be...
If you had a time of 2:15 in your car and I had a 2:17 on mine, would be a little weird.

I believe DD is looking at a 964 which has the much easier shifting G50 gearbox.

Ahhh. Copy that. I haven't run hoosiers at Sebring in almost two years. Last time I did run them I did a 223.0 in cold weather. A year later I was doing 222-23 in the heat on Nitto. I would like to revisit sebring on hoosiers (cold or hot) some time to see where I'm at.

Bingo. 915 is like shifting a dump truck.

Oh, ok I had the info a bit wrong. So Eddie did a 2:15 on slicks and DD did a 2:17.8 on slicks, I thought he (DD) did that on Hoosiers vs Eddie's 2:16 on Hoosiers. It's not as close as I thought, but I think we can all agree Eddie has a faster car, and probably pushes it a bit harder. So that is to be expected.

Makes sense now.

Or we all agree that DD is not as good as he thinks he is.
he made progress, but it's more the thunder chicken making speed..

LOL! Yeah, you are a very relaxed shifter, which IMO is as it should be for mechanical sympathy. And yeah, you're not the smallest or lightest driver out there

Got to give me some credit for the 40 degree temp differential too

Puuulllleeeaseee. You act like I upgraded to a 3.8 and then to a 4.0 and was crowing out my lap times. Oh wait, that was you

I'm driving the same old car I have been for the past 4 years. Always had a tune, always had an exhaust. Stock suspension. Stock engine. Stock transmission. Hmmmmm. If all that is still factory, then I wonder what it could be?

Tires?

This is easily the most cynical bunch of people I've never met. You'd all make for terrible coaches Cause it couldn't possibly be the 9 million track days, data review, and coaching that helped.....
