Don't let G fool you, he's mega-fast (or is that smegma fast - whatever). He has a couple of track records. In his 993, he has 2 of the MSR 3.1 records.
For our cars (996's) the track records are in the 2:25s. Your times are great. Anything under 2:35 is awesome in a track/daily 996 on R comps. 2:35 is about 7% off the record pace. And, assuming that the record pace is a class benchmark, that means you are getting about 94% out of your car running 2:33s. I say that's pretty good for a 320HP C4-cab
FWIW, the Cayman S is a class above us and should be driving in the 2:22-2:23s (as race prepped; sub 2:30s in DE) and the overall track record is 2:13 and change.
Also, to give you some idea about the difference in groups, greens are running in the mid 3:10, with blues running around 2:50. Fast Yellow and virtually all in white pull that down to the sub 2:35 range. Red runs the same times as blue.

I doubt he's raced it on the 3.1, probably only member day stuff, so those times won't ever make it up online. The AMB transponder website is http://www.mylaps.com/ . If I had to guess I'd say 2:28'ish.

Yo, it's Gladwill with an 'i', not an 'e'. At least spell the guy's name right... 
And you might think it's vacation, but he's out in CA for training this week. Mandatory stuff for all the guys at the dealership. He might be sleeping through it, but they're picking up some really cool stuff with the direct injection and PDK stuff. No more intermediate shaft.

And there's Noby, obsessed with what he always refers to as the "intermediate shaft".
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
