Is that a wave pool at your road course? Holy crap that would be awesome. Wear a bathing suit under your driving suit all day and go swimming in the wave pool in between sessions.

But like I posted above, let's see lap times for 20+ minutes at speed and see how they look, along with fluid temps.

I think the cars will be very closely matched and if they are both driven well this should be a great match-up. I hope to do something similar at MotorSport Ranch later this year.
Ha, "Driver-dependent" the driver of the GT3 has about ten times the skill of me, with that being said Thank you for the kind words. I have the full 30 min video of this session posted, I pass about 10 Caymans and everything else on the track and had no issues with fluid temps. all "REAL" data posted. Facts are GT3's run like 2:25's at Sebring and the C7Z's run like 2:22's. They are both great cars. See ya at the track, happy driving

How then do you explain the apparent 2:18 in the video and are you sure you are not talking about 997 GT3s? Reenlist is reporting 2:20 for sure in a 991 GT3 and 18s possible. I have no first hand experience in a 991 GT3 so can't say, but are you positive a 991 GT3 can't get to or under 2:20?

No I am not positive a 991 GT3 can't get to or under 2:20's in stock trim, I am also sure that the C7Z will get to 2:18's in stock trim. I was get saying what the cars are currently running on regular track days.

Reenlist is a tuner so are we now talking about mod'ed 991's?

Sorry I misspelled. rennlist.com is a forum. Recent reports are in this thread and differ from what you are saying.

Right, I have not heard of many modded 991 GT3's on RL except for sharkwerks center muffler bypass which doesn't add any power just sound.

Most are bone stock except maybe the occasional Trofeo R or Hoosiers on 19's

The roads here are pretty good, there are some areas that are bad but we never go in that direction
Lived in Guaynabo la villa de torrimar for two years - beautiful area with great beaches - learned not to come to a full stop at stop lights at night time have fun!
